    Mechanic for Head Gasket in Orange County?

    I've been taking all my cars to Corner 3 Garage in Laguna Hills for the past 10 years. Nima (one of the owners) is a stand up guy and they never ever try to up sale you on things you don't need. Pricing is reasonable and I know I'm not getting screwed over. I would call them to get a quote...

    03->06 Projector with HID hot spot issue

    wait, so you are using 9006 HIDs in the projectors right now? I think that may be your problem. The housings can only fit H11 bulbs

    How to do the 03->06 Headlight Swap.

    I have a 03 without DRL as well. I still got the 1156a bulbs to fill the slots of the headlight so i wouldn't run into any condensation issues. the other bulbs are the same size. Yes you need the 9006 to H11 adapter and you're all set!

    06-09 LED headlight bulbs. MUST TRY list

    I had to adjust mine after I installed the LEDs. Even with the sharp cutoff of te LEDs, I recommend you still properly aim your headlight beams so you dont blind other drivers

    *** V6 Head Gasket Action Request ***

    Update: I burped my system pretty well, there was so much air that it caused a lot of coolant to come out of my radiator cap when I first started my car. Ran the heater, revved up to 2.5-3k a few times and then let the car run to operating temp. I let it sit overnight and no more water sound or...

    06-09 LED headlight bulbs. MUST TRY list

    So I've been holding off on these for a while. I originally started with a DDM slim ballast kit with 6.5K bulbs. I couldn't see shit. I thought it was too blue so switched to 5k bulbs, it was better but still didn't illuminate distance as much as I wanted. I then went with another brand of LED...

    06-09 LED headlight bulbs. MUST TRY list

    H11 are for 06+ headlights with projectors. You don't need a H11 harness, just exchange the H11 bulbs for 9006

    Need to replace my headlights, options?

    I'd stick with OEM. When I did my 06+ conversion I was on Ebay everyday checking to see if there were OEM Sport ones for sale that were in good condition. Spent $130 for the pair.
