A new GP is waiting
Hi Everyone,
I have been lurking around your forum for the past two weeks and want to thank you all for your wonderful insights which helped me take the plunge. Tomorrow I am picking up my GP and you would think it was the birth of my first child.
My name is Jeff and I live in Chapel Hill NC. I will be sure to post pics when I get home from my journey.
One question...how have you found the halogen lights for night driving on dark roads? My last two cars had Xenons and I wonder if I will miss them
Cheers!

I miss the Xenons tremendously when driving my GP at night. (My points of comparison are the Xenons in the '05 MCS and in the '05 Corvette.) Having said that, overall I -love- the GP, and I'm looking into some Hella units for driving light assistance and (separate pair) fog lights too.

I didn't have them on my MCS either - so I'm not missing them - but I did purchase some upgraded Silverstar bulbs at my dealer - they shine a bit brighter and whiter... but not ricer looking (blue like) - I think they cost $40.
Xenon I guess are heavier and couldn't be added... who knows.

It is actually a still open question as to what would be involved to do the swap and yes I am quite interested in the answer!

post up pics and impressions of your trip when you get back - I'm jealous that you get a break-in road trip...my dealer is just 2 miles away so its taken me a while to finish mine, but I'm almost to 1200mi. woohoo

If it's anything like other cars there involves a wiring harness for the Ballast and the rear axle level sensor.
