    Hey man, when I get home tonight I'll take some photos of the whole set up for headlights and taillights and I'll post a write up of everything I used. Will probably be useful for a few people at least.

    That color is so striking on the mirage. I'm drooling over here.

    Updated photos to more recent ones. Wrap is holding up well after about 6 months.

    I must say your Mirage...is a stunner! Sublime even!

    Could you tell me what specific color your "color shift" paint is?

    Thanks! I have a car wrap shop out here in Arizona so I like it to be as noticeable as possible!
    This particular one is a vinyl wrap made by Avery Dennison called ‘Lightning Ridge’

They did mention that the fluid in the trans is not OEM so might be causing problems.
    Drove her home and didn’t have a single issue, got up to 80mph and not a problem so looking like it was an issue caused by the cars computer. Due for trans fluid change anyway and would feel better having the Mitsu fluids in there so gonna change that over the weekend.

    All lights turned off as soon as I turned the car back on and hit the brakes. No problems since!
    Hey Scooter - considering your recent problems, it might be worth checking your LED load resistors - especially if they get 'super hot' - or maybe return back to ordinary incandescent bulbs, if only to see if your engine troubles are affected by this.
