The issue is not can you install HID in reflectors, it is should you and the asnwer is no. By the way, replacing halogen bulbs with HID bulbs is also illegal. If we are both going to be illegal, at least I will do it responsibly. At the OEM where I work, we use halogens in reflectors and...

-wash with dawn -claybar with lube -choose your favorite wax/polish product and go nuts

Putting HID bulbs in a reflector not designed for those bulbs is dangerous to oncoming traffic. If you want HID, then please do it the proper way or not at all. That is a horrible and dangerous attitude. I have "a truck" and also sports cars. I get alot of irrisposible truck owners with their...

This will be oversimplified, but hopefully will explain the basic differences... The oil you buy is composed of 2 things; base oil stock and the additive package. The difference between dino and synthetic is the blending of the hydrocarbon in the base stock. This means the base stock is less...

who knows.... if it is black/gray from katzkin then it may ave come from the '06 sport my wife totalled last year.

Many modified sports cars, driving in track events, tons of auto-x, etc. I suppose the highest hp car was a '08 STI that puts down 420awhp, but turning is more important than power. I have run the 4Runner through the dragon (US-129) for fun and thought it was very well composed, but I was on...

I use one of my 2 sports car if I want to go fast. The 4R is for towing and reasonable space. I can honestly say, I have never felt the need to try and race my 4runner. I will say though, a friend drove his '05 V8 4Runner around New Jersey Motorsports Park, and he had a good laugh. He was...

Just to be absolutely clear, the octane is not what makes more power. I just want to make sure people don't get the wrong idea. With modern engines (better sensors, control system, etc), the engine will start to advance the spark timing until it starts to see knock then backs off to find the...

I am all for having the option to purchase with a diesel engine, but the petition referring to gasoline engines as "inferior" as a blanket statement is pretty stupid and reduces the credibility of the petition.

All this talk about dogs and aggression.... I have trained my dog to love everyone. She will only lick you and try to get attention. She's a boxer with what seems to be a bit of some bully mix.

There's the problem. It has some of the worst gun laws in the country. When I went through the concealed weapons course in FL, they showed us the laws as it relates to usage, and it was nothing like what you described. Hell, here in Iowa, many of my friends shoot off their porch for fun.:pimp...

That's a great tip. I will have to remember to grab my key fob with my right hand. My left hand would be occupied by the .45 within reach of my bed.

I have absolutely no problem with BMW making powerful and impressive SUVs. I DO have a problem calling them "M" vehicles. As the owner of a M Roadster, it makes me sick. Keep the "is" signification as everyone knows the "is" is the sporty version. A few years ago, a statement came out from BMW...

At work, a bunch of us engineers in electronics talk about this fairly often. Most of us think there are deeper issues in the electronics based on how some of the failures were reported.

Unfortunately, marketing makes alot of calls as to what is offered. The engineers are the ones who design it and make it work.
