UPDATE: I replaced my H7 headlight bulbs with LEDs several weeks ago, and I've been very happy with them. I'm old with eye problems and these help alot, they work everywhere especially in really dark areas its like day light. General driving experience is that signs just "Pop".

Finally got around to installing these LED headlights as well. Aside from the fact that I could barely get my hand in the housing, the installation was a breeze. I just cut a hole the size of the base of the bulb in the dust covers.

The light from these is worlds better.

Got Pilot Sport AS 3+ (225/45/17) installed this week as well. Very impressed by these. The sidewalls are nice and stiff, and the traction is incredible.

Did an oil change and did the PCV fix as well as preventative maintenance.

Nice Find !!!
Seeing as I'm labled as a Pennie Pincher elsewhere on this forum. :sm3: I must admit I'm a "cheapskate" as our Golf has only the base steering wheel covered with a vinyl covering I got off Amazon for $10, thicken the wheel and makes it nicer to hold on sub zero mornings. :sm3:

Well today I went to give them money, ....went to buy an eGolf today (yes it does cost more than a GTI, in Canada), but was told I'd have to wait more than a year for delivery, ....WTF !

I guess I'll hang with you guys even if my son has the Golf for the Summer.

So I'll wait until the Hatchback Buzz comes out, hopefully with the Aluminum battery and not the Lithium battery. The aluminum battery doesn't loose like 50% of capacity when it gets cold like the Lithium one.

I see lots of eGolfs down here. More Teslas than anything as far as electrics go. Don't know the Buzz. I'll have to google it. I am a peddle power person myself normally. I bike/take the train to work normally. Not really an option where it's cold. That's why I don't mind poluting a tad more than normal. I build up credits during the week for my weekend 2.5L outings.

The bike challenge starts next week for anyone who wants to get some miles in over the summer.



One for the dirt one for the road.

Of course Teslas, you in the OC.

Your green signature must be off the charts :w00t:

I'm not sure I could go along with you choice of bike seats tho :laugh:

Bike seats? Soft bike seats actually make your ass hurt more on long rides. Harder seats are better for that once your sit bone gets uses to it. If thats what you are referring to anyway.

Damn you ecs for your email suggestions....
