Nope. Just replaced my halogens with Phillips Crystal Vision Ultra's. A lot cheaper and nice, pure white light.

I picked those up at a local auto parts store. Just asked them for a set of replacement bulbs and these were one of them. I want to say they were H3's, but don't quote me. And I can't find my notes. Sorry, man.

Past few days I've been doing some maintenance in the form of replacing the Valve Cover Gasket, (along with the Spark Plug tube seals), and replacing the clamps on the power steering lines due to leakage.

I could've done all this in one day, but I like taking my time, and getting intimate with Egan.

Finally fixed that annoying rattle. Been searching for it for months and today I replaced the end links on my rear sway bar. Went for a little run and silence. Problem solved! Not a bad little surprise. Yippie.
Gave her a nice bath in the 20 degree heat today to celebrate. Just in time for tonight's snow.

Picked up my very own '13 JCW 4.5 hours away, drove her around S.F. including the most crooked street - Lombard and then I took her home.
