Watching this Kings v Sharks game... boring. I hate LA teams so much.

Nothing else is on TV and I'm boycotting my DVR for some reason.

Cleaned the exhaust tips

Found one of my LEDs on the plate LED bulbs wants to keep flickering.

I turn it/reseat it, and it stops. I put it back in the housing, it starts flickering. Grrr...

I'm having the same problem with some of my cheaper LEDs in the hatch and license plate

I think I'm going to solder a thin metal ribbon to the wires on the bulb to provide significantly more contact surface.

Let me know how that goes! I probably need to do the same thing.

On the drive home, I could tell she was still unhappy, so I followed up with a full hand wash and detail when I got home. I washed her again, vacuumed all of the carpet, wiped down the interior, detailed the rims, treated the tires, and wiped down all of the thresholds. She looks so much happier now

mr.jar- good job taking care of your girl!

It's not the contact, it's the LED itself...

Same thing happened to mine and eventually they don't light up anymore...

and that was within 2 months.....

Dirty car pics. Let's see if I inspire some local copycats.

Hope you're not referring to me

I'd never drive my car on unpaved dirt/rocks like that

Plus, I only take pictures of my car when it's clean
