And yes, I am serious. My car's name, WHITE HEAT, is the shit!

Here are a couple links, but there are a bunch more on here. If anybody remembers Buda (another member on here who moved to Kansas I think) he installed them on his 05 and they look really good!!! He's a friend of mine on facebook, so I can always hit him up for some info.

Don't feed the...WTF?
If anyone is interested (I'm going to try them) - Woot.com has the Mr. Clean autodry car wash system for 2.99 (limit 3). I googled and everything is coming up around $20.00.
The water is so hard at my house that it leaves some pretty nasty rings on my car if I don't dry it while it's still wet. I usually have to go over the car again with a wet rag to get rid of the waterspots after I dry. Worth a shot for me at least.![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Oh - don't know if I griped about this before or not.... Spent about an hour making a kick ass ad for Craigslist to put my car up for sale, see if I get any takers. Hit submit, and the web page errored out. So - all this talk about putting my car up for sale hasn't amounted to anything yet. Not even sure if I will list it anymore or not.

I bought my dad the autodry kit for father's day a few years ago. I didnt like it as it left a film on the car so I dont recommend that product.

I actually need to figure out how in the hell I'm going to install a softener someday anyways. My water main enters the house in the laundry room, but all my piping for the house/water heater are in the basement - where there is no drain. WTF?

Not sure how this is going to go. Technically I have figured out a way of getting more money for my budget and really don't need to sell - but I threw it out there anyhow.
Doing a search, it is about 3k over anything others are asking. Although mine does look the cleanest - bodywise and because of the exterior mods I've added.
Already had 1 person ask about mileage and interior - but until they come to me and get a set of keys, I'm not getting my hopes up too much. I either sell within the 30 days the ad is good for, or I continue to drive the TL. I consider that a win/win situation if you ask me.

I was wondering because I am getting new Xenon bulbs and the company I am buying them from say that the bulbs I require don't come in Dual Element (both lo-beam and high-beam in one bulb). I assume my headlight bulbs are Bi-Xenon like yours, even though my low beam headlamps are HID-D2R and my high beam headlamps are 9005.

I noticed you listed "Bi-Xenon headlights" under the standard features of your car. Does this mean your headlight bulbs have both the lo-beam and high-beam in one bulb? If so, why does Sylvania state that your low beam headlamps are HID-D2S and your high beam headlamps are 9006 (different bulb sizes for the low- and high-beams)?

So the short answer is Yes - the TL does have Bi-Xenon. The 9006 bulb is for the fogs (which happen to be in the headlight housing)

The implication on the water softener was that you would have a spigot for washing the car. If the basement is not totally finished, or you have a drop ceiling, it shouldn't be too hard to install.

Negative on both ghost rider. So my only option I believe would be to put in a drain. Not sure how that would work though it would be a sand drain, and I'd think the backwash from the softener would just clog the drain within a few days or weeks. I think that also would prevent me from using a sump pump to get everything up a level (that's what I do for my A/C currently)

So I just looked at your ad, would you be interested in selling the headlights to me, or swapping them out for the stock ones that my TL has?

But - if I get someone that isn't interested in them and would rather have things as stock as possible for warranty reasons, I will certainly keep you in mind (and you too Takata for the Type-S stuff) - but I guess at this point I wouldn't hold my breathe.
#5754
I'm tempted to say yes - but I'm not sure that it would work. 1) The ad says that I have cleared lights, so I can't really go back on that in case someone actually cares; 2) I've got over a grand into these lights so I couldn't let them go for $100 and a swap or anything (expensive cause I was like the 3rd guy on AZ to have it done), and 3) If for whatever reason the car doesn't sell - I'd like them for myself because they're HAWT.

I got it!!! We can switch lights now (and Takata the Type-S stuff) and if someone is interested in buying that stuff then we will give it back....deal

I'm just kidding. Honestly though, if you find a buyer who doesn't like the headlights let me know. I'd definitely swap them for mine and buy you a beer to call it even

See, when I custom build my next house, I am going to have a garage with water-proof walls so that I can wash indoors, and I will also have a bunch of fluorescent lights on the ceiling and walls for when I am polishing. I will also have a water softener installed specifically for the car wash area so that I don't get hard water spots on my car.
But, I'm a freak like that.

When we built our house, I specifically had them run both hot and cold soft water to a 2 handled faucet in our garage. I can wash the vehicles with soft water and can also wash outside even when it is cold because I can use warm water.

This is what I am talking about. I have an indoor wash bay now, but it doesn't have heated water so in the winter the water is about 1/4 degree above freezing.
