Cool, thanks for the info bro. I just bought a set of the 55w 6500k hid kit front the retrofit source ($150) and my fogs look like shit. The color looks like a halogen color. I thought it would have been a pure white but no. That is why I was asking. Where did you get the cbi'so from?.

sure...I did one in Ramblings, but you know that'll be buried!

Actually...since I'm a maniac, I do have a minor repair update for this thread.

Okay, so tackled the leak today...

replaced the leaking high pressure switch, then tackled the power steering low pressure hose that I'd butchered while searching for the leak.

Here's the new switch and down below, the new hose.

and here, to the right of the rear motor mount, the clamp on the new hose. I tightened them all up until I couldn't easily rotate the hose back and forth on the fitting.

Congrats on the bundle of joy! She is adorable.
Mod money may now become "spoil my daughter" money!

We're expecting our third.
Fate of the TL - unknown at this time

Let me know if you figure out how to add 3 seats in the rear hah.

There's many seats that can fit 3 side by side in a sedan/suv! The expensive Diono comes to mind, but there's other available too:

You put all three in the trunk.

And then drive to the Honda dealer, buy an Odyssey, and install them there.
