    Howdy Jimi, your engine is spotless as always. Reminds me I need to touch up a spot on my front end. Something knocked a small chip off the stone guard on the grill. Must not be as rock resistant as I thought.

    Just to help clear up what lights are on and when:

    Parked and ignition on:



    Next, turned to this position, ignition on:




    Next, turned to this position, ignition on:




    High-beams, ignition on:



    Lights off, ignition off:



    I currently do not have a comparison on stock vs spyder, but I will try to get one (No promises though). I will be able to get some night shots later, I have been working long hours.
    Side note, it has been storming for 2 days now and there has been no leaks or condensation. Hope this helps clear up any questions.

    Thanks, the environment I'm in probably helps a lot, and I don't Wheel often. I get a lot of sand in the engine bay vs Dust. It was 3 yrs old in February, and since new I wipe it down with 303 Automotive periodically. By no means is perfectly clean in person. I haven't done the engine cleaner and water rinse like most folks on here have done. Thanks for the compliments! :cheers:

    Yes! But only because the green unicorn said that if I didn't that he would throw lollipops at me until I obeyed.

    *Actually no, I just waited until it was sunny today to start. :D
