What have you done to your P5 today?

Got an alignment today. Nothing fancy:

Camber: -1.25/-1 degrees f/r
Toe: 0/0 degrees f/r
Caster: factory settings (I don't remember)

Drives so much better with the new wheels and tires and alignment.
 
Replaced Driver's side low-beam bulb. Not nearly as bad as I expected.
 
I drove it around and my idle jumped to 2K for no reason in neutral and was not dropping. and this was after a warm startup, and idle was already settled at round 800...

I just installed these. Took about 15 minutes. Easy install, but I think I'd like them a bit brighter.

^ ive been wanting to do this.

The gauge lighting is pretty dim. I dont know if its because our cars are getting old? or if they are like that from the factory.

I would like to burn my retinas trying to look at my tach. That is how bright i want them lol.
 
give it a little bath, and rotated the tires. going to need a new set soon, oh well makes for a good excuse for some nice summer tires :) and maybe some new wheels... next i just gotta get a little dropage going on.

What is the while light below the mirror?
 
did you have to move the little covers from the old lights to the new ones, or just drop in?

do they still dim with the dimmer switch?

looks very nice, mine is very dim, and i want more light!
 
i'll be ordering Oznium dome lights for the cars hopefully today.

I'll also be swapping out to LED maplights

and hopefully, going cold cathode kits under the dash and seats on both cars
 
Nah, the LED's in the lights are a HUGE improvement!!!!

As to the underdash lighting, it's like the JDM footlamps. They'll be soft white, not ricer blue or red

not 100% on under the seats for the rear yet

I just dropped the new ones in. No little light condoms for me. lol

The dimmer switch does still work.

yea, the dim dash lighting has always been a common complaint with these cars. I recommend this mod for anyone wanting more light. Its cheap and easy to do. So far I'm pretty happy with them.
 
not quite sure if youre serious or not, but if you are: the white light under the mirror is a side marker (blinker). they came stock on, i believe, the 2003 and 2003.5 models. the 02.5 may have them too.

Sorry I was serious. mine is a 2002 so does not have them..

lol no need to be sorry. some ppl might not actually know what they are, and others are just trying to be smartasses. im usually a smartass lol. but the side marker is usually the only way i can tell a 2002 from a 2003.
 
Just got home from installing my springs...and got my Speed3 seat bottoms back yesterdy...I also am getting the back part of them test fitted today...
