Post a New Picture You Took!

colorado.e9x · 09-10-2023, 10:53 PM

dephrank some lenses have a + on it to mark where your beam should be adjusted to. If thats not possible find some level ground and a wall. Park about 25-30 ft from the wall. Measure from the ground to the center of your projector lense. On the wall adjust the (I think top?) beam with your measurements. I use painters tape to mark them. I also like to position the passenger side a half inch higher than the drivers

Thanks for the detailed response. Been told I need to aim the headlights at its highest from the vertical adjustment knob on the headlight switch too.

No problem. As far as manual adjustment goes I don'have any advice on that, mine are automatic. That would make sense though so you can adjust the height down when you have a heavy load in the trunk

Decided to brush the dust off and test spray the ugly cage. Going to be doing some work on this one for the next week or so to get it ready for sale.

1k miles in 1 day, no issues. N54 gives the mpg when you take it easy and the power when you need it.
Posting from mobile, hopefully the photos don’t blow up your screen!

After a long day at work.

Note: Corner spot, so I was away from everyone else.

Washed her earlier today and gave it a quick polish after the weather cooled off

well done -
you have been anointed with the prime-parking-gene....always searching for the ultimate spot to prevent unconscious souls from ramming their door(s) into the pristine side of your ride...or worse.

It’s the only way. 10 years of ownership and no door dings.

Still doesn’t keep other people from parking like idiots.

well done - choosing to find a parking stall and not settling for a parking stall creates no door dings.

i normally park in a different zip code in a store parking lot and get a few extra steps in AND save my ride.
