You mean they don't serve a function or they actually don't work? My parking lights don't work, and I can't figure out how to replace the damn bulbs.
Okay its quite simple, You have 2 wires that run to this plastic box light thing. That box like thing secures those cables to the headlight. Then the 2 cables run to a long plastic thing, that goes inside the headlight.

So basically just follow the wires out of the plastic thing till they hit the headlight. Then twist on whatever you can grab on and pull the long plastic thing out. The bulb is on the tip of the plastic thing.

Yeah, like I said it appears to be PITA to replace them so I'll just let them be.

Thanks, I'll look into it tomorrow and give it a try.

A lot.

Door panels are falling apart. Bushings are shot. Hasnt had a decent stereo for a year. It needs bodywork/paint. It needs a new kit. The brakes suck. Steering rack needs all new seals. Needs new carpet.

But the god aweful sound that it creates makes up for everything aside from the bad bushings.

Yup, just another day in the life of owning a car from a port city. For some odd reason I bought another one.

There is always something you want to buy for it.

wow man that sucks.

Kinda off topic but i have driven a few sc's now and i find that they either have awesome brakes like my sc or have terrible breaking. IDK what causes some models to have super soft brakes.

Minimal trunk space, poor gas mileage, worn bushings, leaky & yellowing headlights.

I used to hate where the volume\power **** was before I yanked the stock stereo. I would accidentally turn it on and off with my knee all the time. It could use a little more headroom too.

What I really hate though is how the tires break loose when I floor it from a 45 MPH roll.

retractable antenna looks gay as hell, stereo leaves something more to be desired, heat is leaking through the vents (not as annoying during the winter months) and the CD player skips too often. I wish that the stock seats gave me more headroom too. Oh and parts are somewhat of a B**** when it comes to prices. Thank god we have supras...

I don't hate my SC I accepted it. If you hate it so much sell it to someone who loves it.
