should have listened to you. Woke up this morning determined to solve the ‘clack’ and pulled off my passenger mirror, busted one of the plastic tabs that clip the mirror onto the motor… it still gets on there pretty solid so I think it should be fine but that hella sucks. And with the mirror cover completely off, I was still getting the same clacking noise so it has nothing to do with my reassembly. Ah well. Don’t pull plastic stuff apart in the cold, don’t get too gadget I guess is the lesson there.

and someone already did amber. Photos are posted earlier in the thread

I snapped my roof "rail" trim on the top of my car a month ago because it'd "puffed up" again and wasn't sitting flush. Usually gets like that when it's full of trash n' junk that gets washed down into it.

About 40 outside and I'd decided to wash it and shine it up. Pulled out the trim and tried to massage it flatter.... SNAP.

Still irritated about it.

Wanted to confirm. Your link to vleds light bulb for the puddle lights are the dual 360 bulb. Is that correct? And did you have any fitment issues due to the length of the bulb? I know the single 360 bulb fit.
