You can just image search a Fiorano. I'm scouring the internet for pictures of the FAST AND FURIOUS car because I'm positive someone has to have taken a picture of it at some point.

Appointment to get the lights sanded and buffed on Saturday at 10. Also, no condensation after driving through the damn monsoon today so I'm pretty sure I'm good at this point.

I don't think anyone disagreed with you. No one is sure that it's going to fix the problem is the thing. I will definitely post the results.

More interested in the electrical issues tbh.

I haven't gotten any more either after that one night. *knock on wood*

Blades, if I were you, I'd still go back through that particular headlight you had condensation in, and retouch it up with the a sealant.

So I think I've pinpointed my electrical problem and it has to do with the cutoff for my LED running lights. The lights cut off when the headlights are turned on OR when the parking brake is pulled. I'm pretty sure the parking brake is/was what's causing the interference with my key fob system.

Why? The DLRs shorted out 2 days ago and now the key fob system works 100% of the time. As the dealership installed the DLRs, they're on the hook for the repair to the lights since they warranted them with the rest of the car (along with my intake).

So my question is, can I just run around without the override? Just have the LEDs on all the time and not worry about a cutoff? I don't think it's a problem in Maryland but I'm not certain how to be sure.

I guess we'll see what happens. Dude, I really wanna get my parts installed... ughhhh.

D&V has the car. He said there's probably not a whole lot that can be done but they certainly won't make it look any worse

Yup, this is worth attempting.

Flat spot but you have to look for it.
