Pulled the cabin filter, was full of pollen and leaves. Seems really undersized and ultra light? Tapped to remove what I could and replaced, and off to Advance...none in stock. Off to work!
Fitted a spare Sylvania Zevo 168 White Led in place of a running/park light bulb, to see how well it works. Looks good, very bright.
Just wanted to see how it looked before ordering a set for the front. Got some Philips Ultinon 168WLED bulbs from Amazon, they had a 20% off coupon. Ordered a Ecogard XC10487 cabin filter while I was at it.

Can you post a picture of this before changing them both? Before & afters would be nice too.
Your potato is my potato...sounded better out loud. :/
Left, right, front, and with headlights on. It really is a dinky little light, I'll retake the pics tonight so you can see how much light it actually puts out.

Cleaned the headlight lenses, but not before taking a couple more photos...
The LED looks too bright, definitely hurts my eyes...until I turn on the headlights, and it's completely drowned out. They don't put a whole lot of light out, but it's enough to light up the siding on the house as I pull in. And less heat/energy (1w vs 5-10w, depending on the bulb), hopefully longer life.

Managed to install one speaker in the rear driver side door, then forgot to reconnect the latch cable retainers so now my door is permanently locked. Also managed to break the window switch on that door trying to get the handle out again, so that window is permanently closed as well. Lets see how much we can break next weekend... :/
Did a half decent job with the heatshrink, though...
Edit: managed to find the internal components and put the switch back together. Seems to be working, haven't reconnected to check yet.
