Glad you asked...

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.


As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.

PIPERDOG,
The switch for your trunk light in in the trunk lock. Put your key in the lock, open the trunk, and turn the key back and forth once the trunk is open.

This problem normally occurs because we use the remote to open the trunk instead of the key most of the time.

Thanks

even though both are pioneer, you have to modify/convert the factory cd changer to make it work with an aftermarket pioneer deck. PM a guy named "LEXAUDIO" on here. he provides a service to help people convert the cd changer to make it work with aftermarket pioneer decks. i believe he was charging $70 bucks the last time i asked. but you also have to send him the cd changer too though.

I think johnny is getting worn out..... I feel like I should contribute a question since he seems to like the intersting ones. If your driving the GS at the speed of light and you turn on the HID's, do they do anything?

Okay '98 GS400 ball joints already replaced by dealership. Car makes a metal scraping type noise when load is put on the front driverside's suspension. Overall the car handles terrible, floats around on the highway, pulls to the right, and rides pretty rough.
Got an alignment and new tires done to get rid of the pull but no luck, I'm ready to fix the problem but don't what it is.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
