I installed a Bluetooth receiver I had laying around.

I just installed it with double stick tape. I have the OEM deck, sound coming in via Cassette adapter. It sounds okay.

It is a cheap adaptor, I was no longer using at home. Its battery wore out, and is now powered by a mini USB through the cigarette lighter.

Now I don't have to mess with the jack.

(New owner 3 weeks- been commuting 2 weeks)
Yesterday I replaced headlights with Sylvania Silverstar Ultras!
WOW what a difference!
While changing I found that the passenger side bulb was loose, crooked and the spring clip was not fastened. (Grrrrrrr previous owner)

Also found the parking bulbs were burned out and replaced with standard bulbs.

I have my eye out for VLED backup reverse lights for my next upgrade.

Anyone else done these yet?

Please add some pictures if possible, it is a great pleasure to see insights in good shape.....

I bought some wax ( was some time ago , could be more than a year) , with good intentions, but still have not gotten to it.... Always have good excuses....
the present one is : the weather is too cold....

I didn't restore the headlights, I just put the UV protectant. It makes the headlight clearer, than with no protectant.

But it's not as good compared to using the whole kit, and a lot of elbow grease, which sadly I'm to lazy to do .

Next time I apply it, I'll post before and after pictures.
