So, I tackled a few annoyances this weekend. First, I replaced the Driver HID ballast as it was on the fritz. TRS replaced it free of charge. (5 year warranty)<\/p>\n

Second was to tackle a few hiccups on my Keyless ignition. Third was to swap my headunit back to the 6300 since my din and a half decided to go bad or at least sick with static and popping. Not bad for a 10+year old headunit that has been used pretty heavy.<\/p>\n

A quick run to Lowe’s and problem solved.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fuse replaced and its ready for install.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hours later:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To celebrate, I washed the car. Finally.<\/p>\n
