What have you done to your MSP today?

grrr. if i cant fix them then i guess im off to walmart to get some crap bulbs then ordering a ddm kit(which i may do anyways b/c i dont like the kit i have). i would just order the ddm's and be done with it but i kinda need my headlights asap. its dark when i go to work at 5am
 
ya they took about 4 weeks to ship mine, I emailed them about it and they said it was because they were back ordered when Customs seized their tanker or crate or w/e back in Dec. and they are still trying to catch up to the huge number of orders they get.. that's what I heard.. but ya check the fuses, and connections, if not then just order the kit.. and just so you know what actually went wrong, you could replace a one thing at a time to see which it was.. and if you could always sell the parts from your old kit that work and just leave out the part that you know was broken..
 
Check all fuses For the headlight system and if you have a dmm check the harness voltages.
 
Decided to take some time and do a restoration to showroom detail on my car. Scrubbed, vac, shampoo all cloth. Clean all plastic, wipe down windows. Exterior is where I shine. Washed with 70 degree water and a warm bucket of Meguiar's soap. Dried with chamois cloth and an air nozzle.

Clay bared entire car. Pulled it into the garage to start cutting with Mystique 2000 grit abrasive. Washed again in 70 degree water, dried just the same. Used a wool pad on a Makita orbital buffer, and applied 100 degree Meguiars cleaner wax to the car. Worked in on low setting, and buffed clean on medium setting. Applied Meguiars Showroom Polish for the final layer and top coat.

Removed the wheels and tires and hot acid bathed them. Over all, I've been up since 7 this morning and I'm just about done. Just about = another 2 hours of wiping and touching up all missed areas, door sills, rubber treatment to all weather stripping.

classic.
 
I actually passed 4 of the ASE Tests like 3-4 years ago... And im NOT going into that field, I rather not, To much stress to fix other people broken s***, rather upgrade cars, but not much $ in there unless its Lambo's and stuff.
 
^ I had that last year... I forget what I did to fix it, I think sparkplugs... or Cleaned EGR.... one of those two.
 
whatd u do to fix it? i havent done anything but scan it once i got home. i did check that the spark plug boots were sitting in correctly tho
