LOL wow. took my car in today again because my lo-beams were as high as the hi-beams. i called it in earlier and they said it should just take a couple minutes because lighting arent that big of a deal, but turns out its the housing so i have to leave it another night.. whats wrong with her.. ugh.

wt1110 · 06-18-2009, 10:47 PM

theres a headlight adjustment that is connected to the front suspension...probably just needs to be tweaked b/c it was knocked out of align when you ran over that thing

kyleb350 · 06-18-2009, 11:02 PM

Summerfest is the 25th-4th. I'll be going up just for Father's day weekend to visit the fam. Going to go a few days though!

UdubBadger · 06-18-2009, 11:05 PM

cool... one of my favorite bands is playing up there but I have to choose between going to see them or going to Chicago for the weekend of the 4th.

Vudoo4u2 · 06-18-2009, 11:11 PM

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...12&postcount=7 <--link to pics of the point where you can adjust via screws for minor adjustments

there are also two sensors, one on the front control arm and one on the rear, and you can adjust the length of this rod to alter the height/travel of the headlights...your dealer should be aware of where to find it

ultimate · 06-18-2009, 11:28 PM

they said the whole housing wont give and they need to replace everything.. im not complaining.

UdubBadger · 06-18-2009, 11:38 PM

i just had both my fog housings replaced... thank god.

Vudoo4u2 · 06-18-2009, 11:42 PM

my paint is done!...parts should be on tomorrow...back in action!

UdubBadger · 06-19-2009, 12:44 AM

I'm about to find out what 2.5" hail sound like on a window... faaaaack.

Thank god I have a parking garage... even if it is filthier than post the Katrina Super Dome, hail damage is fucking horrible.

takashin · 06-19-2009, 09:50 AM

3gs is so fast!!!

CubanJJ09 · 06-19-2009, 10:01 AM

I wana see how fast it is. Worth the extra 100 bucks?

UdubBadger · 06-19-2009, 10:02 AM

probably not

Nebster · 06-19-2009, 10:21 AM

nope

ragingclue · 06-19-2009, 10:47 AM

What are the specs on it? 100% more RAM and 50% higher clock? That should be good for a very noticeable performance increase unless there's another bottleneck in the system...

CubanJJ09 · 06-19-2009, 10:48 AM

Ha postive bunch I see

CubanJJ09 · 06-19-2009, 11:08 AM

Staring out my window, the storm is just a couple miles north of here, looks like it'll all miss me.... But just my luck I have to park outside at work... Damn those are some scary looking clouds. Pitch black.

Hail is the worst.
