I think installing such monitors in headrests would not be a bad idea brand

Hi, Seats look great. What is the white material? How did you dye them? Thanks!

I replaced the small wiring harness on the back of the headlights. I burned out (yet another) turn signal lamp and the socket on the driver's side was starting to look bad.
I suspect it doesn't get much cooling air being right by the battery. The passenger side was fine but given that it is 20 years old I went ahead and did it while the part is still available.

P/N is 81125-6A240 and is the same for both sides. Online price is $44 but my dealer didn't cut me a deal and generously sold them to me for $71 each.

I also replaced some illumination bulbs in the suspension adjustment switch. Three of p/n 90010-01039 at $7 each (online is $5.50)
You will need to remove the center console piece with the shifters using a plastic trim tool, and access them from underneath.
Have a small zip-tie ready to replace the one you'll need to cut.

I thought about going to LEDs but I would need a load resistor to prevent hyperflash and as far as I know cut into the factory wiring (which I'm not willing to do)

Only a few more years and I'll be exempt from vehicle inspections...

LEDs from Lasfit. I have these for the front DRL/Turn signals as well as the rear turn signals. Confirming they are bright AF and no hyperflash… actually, if you sit at a stoplight for 3+ minutes, it might hyper flash but in my experience, it’s very rare.
