Was doing a general end of season detailing on Saturday and happened to be under the rear on replacing the brake bleeder caps that rotted off. Saw my diff bushing blew... Looks like I have my winter project already lined up.

Default Philips CBI Bulbs Installed

Finally got around to installing the Philips CBI bulbs

Install = Easy. A lot easier than I thought it would be and my mechanic level is about a 2 outta 10! Was easiest to use the stock jack, turn the wheel, lift the side up just a bit, allowed for plenty of room to get in there (midget hands would have helped)!

Excited for my first night drive. The stock bulbs really go to crap after that 4.5 year mark it seems (maybe I'm just getting old).

Tip: Use your cell phone to take photos to ensure you have the bulb oriented the correct way, stupid clip thing seated correctly, etc. That removed a great deal of frustration in the process. A headlamp helps a ton as well. Bulb has 2 notches, one at 12 and 1 at 1 O'Clock positions.

The other piece on the other hand, I have to wait 2 weeks for it to be made before it ships from Japan.

Default Installed SPL End Links

Friday I finally got the SPL end links installed, which go with my Eibach front stabilizer bar.
