Replaced the windshield wiper blades. Safety first, boys and girls. Removed the climate control unit. Found a service on Ebay that will replace the lights and LCD for $69. Two out of three of my bulbs are burned out. I want the panel fully lighted like it used to be.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Ordered an ECU that isn't fried like mine (thanks kbb). Went to do wheel bearing as it is grinding now (used to be a simple womp noise) but the napa guy is on vacation so it'll have to wait another week. So, I cracked open the headlights again (duct tape FTW) and deleted the ghetto running lights I tossed in a few months back. I cut the insert piece, and glued a flashlight reflector and shroud to it. Installed a huge 1156 LED with 18 I think big leds in it. Came out nice, not bright enough to blind people but bright enough to be noticed (running lights). I'll wait a week or so before I pull it apart, adjust as needed, and bondo it permanently. Still need to polish the covers but my hands can't take that abuse long.

Are those OZ Superleggera? Had those wheels on my Old Legend, they looked great on a FWD car with a drop, maybe with some spacers and a drop you could pull those off a bit better. Good start though!

Yes they are the supers, got them from Craigslist for $300 with four good tires. I had four bald tires and cracked factory wheels. They came off a GS so had hub centric rings inserted already. The offset is 2mm further out than stock 16x7 50 vs 17x7 48, they look so recessed because they are only 215 tires vs the 225s that the 16s had. Once I need tires, I'll add 225s and a 10mm spacer to the rears.
And thanks for the kind words. Living paycheck to paycheck with a SC is not an easy task. Pulling headlights apart to try and polish some more, if I get them clear enough I'm gluing them and calling it done
