• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    LED headlight retainer, how did you do it?

    @jtpollock I only got as far as my last post, I still have to order the parts. When that happens I will give an update. Can you verify that the the flange is in fact removable on those XD LEDs to allow install of the adapter? Thanks!

    Shop repair manual?

    I appreciate the offer, but I did go ahead and get a "Green Manual" Manual4Mechanics on CD version which covers 2008 to 2011 RS/GS series, 1800+ pages for $20 and free shipping.

    Front Wheel Removal

    Nearly every tool I own I purchased off a Snap On tool truck, or a Matco truck, so I know they have them. I believe you can also get one at Sears in the Craftsman line. I do not expect they are too difficult to find as custom wheels have become so popular in the past two decades. The one I have...

    Headlight adjustment on a 08 GS.

    The headlight bucket may be a little "stuck" from being fixed in a certain position for so long, you may try giving the bucket a wiggle after, or as you turn the screw. Or, the adjuster may be stripped.

    Shop repair manual?

    Right, but is there a publisher that seems to be favored over others? Examples; Haynes, Clymer, Chilton, other, etc.

    LED headlight retainer, how did you do it?

    After a second phone call to CS at Xenondepot I was able to gain some clarification, the big hang up was nomenclature. What I refer to as a retainer, they and others in the aftermarket lighting industry refer to as an adapter:sour:. These pics should help anyone in the future who may have the...

    LED headlight retainer, how did you do it?

    Thanks JKMSPYDER, I see no application for led headlights for an RS at Lamonster. BLUEKNIGHT911, yes the socket is the same, the connector is the same, however, looking at the h7 halogen bulb then looking at the xenondepot LED you notice that they are very different. Compare the pictures in the...

    LED headlight retainer, how did you do it?

    I may have watched the same video, if so, that is an entirely different style of retainer and bulb. the bulb in the 09' RS is an H7 and is held in place by a clip that encircles the pigtail 360* and presses against the backing plate of the bulb pinning into the housing... if that makes any sense...
