OldBlue as Horacio said this is not too bad of a job. I would recommend using the 10mm socket to push/squeeze out the adjustment screw clip which is the middle clip. Once it is out just wiggle/push light and it should come out. I didn't mark the lights and was initially bringing down jet airliners with them. Once adjusted they work very well.

Thanks guys. I have a Silverado, but it doesn't seem too bad. I will look for the leveling screws before I disassemble it though. Thanks for the tips. If I can install my own leveling kit, this should be a walk in the park.

Guys I missed this by one day! Anyone think TRS would still honor it today?

I would call them first thing Monday morning.

Wow! Guess the group buy was pretty successful. Good job fellow forum members in taking advantage of this deal. You're quite welcome Tim and again thank you for making it happen with The Retrofit Source.

Man, that's awesome! I'm glad we can pull together and get deals like these. It's good for us and good for the vendor.

I don't suppose anyone's done a video of how to install these in a Chevy without removing the bumper have they? I've seen the video on YT where they do that, and I'm handy enough to get by with it. But, I was hoping someone showed how to get all the little bits out of the way. It seems like more than 6-15mm screws to me.

 

IDK, it seems as I've gotten older my willingness to turn the wrenches has decreased.... Or maybe it's correlated to the ever increasing cost of the vehicles... Who knows? :)

 

PS... This is without a doubt the most overbuilt fog light bracketry I've ever seen.

58, I emailed them on the 1st since I didn't get my order in time. They emailed me back yesterday and said If i called in they would process the order. I just called and ordered them.

Finally got mine installed today. About 3 consistently interrupted hours to swap both out. 8 bolts on each side and the fog assembly slides right out from under the bumper. Then swap and reinstall. No need to remove whole bumper or front end. These things are bright and look fantastic. The pic does no justice.

I would call the Retrofit Source and ask them if they will honor the coupon code.

Hey Horacio,

 

Just gauging interest here: Any chance of a Morimoto Elite HID System Group buy? I've been wanting to replace my garbage halogens for a while now. Thoughts on getting interest on the H11 replacements?

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
