    Long time since update.
    Installed smoked tail lights with LED bulbs and LED third brake light. Looks so much better than the euro style that was on there.

    Replaced front headlights, corner markers, and lower lights with black housing versions. I like it.

    The junk front grille (chrome with flaking black paint) got a color match treatment to get an idea of what it would look like before I buy/paint a new one.

    Had an interesting experience at a fortunately slow speed. Passenger lower ball joint gave out. Got it home. Replaced LBJ, UBJ, tie rod end, and the brake line. All good now.

    I've been having a lean code CEL, so I'm blaming the intake. Volant intake arrived the other day. However, I've since realized the intake that the PO installed (pictured below) doesn't appear to have the OE MAF housing, which is most likely the cause of the lean code if it's not identical in size to OE. So I can't install this new intake until I find one. It's the one with 4 bolts to attach it to the factory air box. I believe the 2RZ and 3RZ share the same housing.
