    I think he can still do them if you send him your shifter. I may end up doing that with mine at some point. Need to find my stocker though

    I bought some similar to these and, man are they bright! Almost too bright. My backup camera on my license plate is useless after it gets dark. Anyone know how to tone these down a bit. I tried a Sharpie market, but the color won’t stick.

    HELP !!! :( After I sunk her in the mud I replaced the alternator and started n started right up drive it a few miles came back home and heard bubbling under the hood . I was told it’s a blown head gasket. Went and got a combustion tester n came out negative but when I tested it on the exhaust pipe the blue turned yellow. So I went ahead n bought some blue devil gasket sealer n follow the steps. Nothing . It also seems that it only bubbles when the ac is on. Anyone knows what it could possibly be??:/

    That amount of mud too... Make sure you have cleaned the
    Mud in radiator fins will also cause overheating.

    I came from a 2010 lancer so when I test drove my 14 taco it was a significant difference In throw length. I had short shifter installed by dealer it was better, it’s not like sports car short but I found it to be noticeably more comfortable

    I ended up moving my backup camera to the tailgate after installing some of these. It was too bright for my tag located camera. No big deal as I wanted to move it anyway but very inconvenient. Maybe a resistor would dim it?
