This is an easy one. It took all of 15 minutes and it looks sharp. Pepp Boys sells LEDs in a strip of varying lengths, 3,6,9, and 12 and in varying colors ... do not use red .. the police love that one. I used white and 12 inches. They have a sticky strip on the back and adhear really well to the edge of your light assembly. You do not even have to remove any panels, just open up our front cover. If you have daytime running lights you can feed the two leads into the area behind the headlights and splice into the hot lead to the daytime running lights. The other wire to ground of your choice and you are in business and it really looks cool. They are much brighter than this picture shows. If you email me I will help you or send you another pic. ([email protected]). I have had them on for 4 months through rain and snow and they have stayed put. As I said ... easy and looks cool.

Decided to add a couple of red flexible LED light strips below the tail gate on my smart. Installation was very simple and the end result is quite nice.

Update: The temperature dropped to minus 5 over the weekend so we did not attempt to try and fix the blower. Today I drove to the dealer an hour away at 5 degrees. I told the mechanic what the forum recommended trying to fix it and he did but no luc…

I just bought brand new car about 3 weeks ago. After reading manual, I checked the coolant level and it is at the MIN line. Shouldn't the coolant be at the MAX line instead? First day I got the car, the dealer didn't check the tire pressure and w…
