Removed air filter cover and plastic cvt cover expecting both to be packed solid with ladybugs! None in either one! Every other spot is FULL of the things. Removed metal cvt cover to inspect new belt. Little bit of black dust and belt lookin' good! Put it all back together and went for a short ride in the 65 F weather.

hello all, I just had to tell you guys about these LED headlight bulbs, I put them into the main beams and they are brilliant!!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Set-8000LM-80W-H7-COB-LED-Car-Headlight-Fog-Lamp-Conversion-Bulb-Beam-Kits-/401024714278?hash=item5d5eef8626:g:vGoAAOSwu-BWQUU7

I had the standard halogens in but they didn't match the HID's on the dipped beam, but now they do!! well impressed!!

Hi de dee- I gotta ask you- did you only buy the led bulbs and changed them? Do they fit and work with no other modifications?
Thanks

  I bought a kit with the lights, they need the starter kit to turn them on,  that is the HID light kit ,  if you buy LED.s just the lights I have not tried LED head lights as yet,  soon this spring, I heard they have better light spread, and better distance,

Dee dee, i have one question as you have mounter Xenon lights - do they relly give better vision (i assume they are mounted in the projector lights (with lens). I observed, that my light is quite poor with the HIDs on, i thaught that maybe the mirror are weared of, but they dont. When i had a closer look (i put a sheet of paper like 15 inches from the lamp i found out, that as the HID bulbs are longer than standard halogens, they are so close to the lenses, that you can literaly see the top of the bulb in the projected light (a weaker spot shaped as a bulb - seen from above).

  Ya I found out that the HID lights do not match the reflection of the lens on our downtowns, don jack seems to like the LEDS better, by the pictures they have improved lighting ,  and a whiter light, they project light off the side of the bulbs, and use the shape of the lens better,
