im assuming those are rims?

Nope. LX9 is an engine code. GM has three digit engine codes for all their motors. The LX9 is the 3500 V6 that came in G6's, which is the evolution of our motor, the 3400 LA1 V6.

Sorta. In essance, it's the same block. The 60* pushrod V6 dates back to 1980, when Chevy needed a potent little V6 for their FWD cars. The LX9 and it's VVT variant is pretty much the pinnacle for the pushrod 60*V6.

Check out this site, www.60degreeV6.com, they have a whole history on our engines, it's really interesting to read up on. Better yet, here's a link:

You'll have a huge appriciation for our little V6's afterwards.

They're pretty easy, just four wing nuts behind the trunk carpet, but the tricky part is getting the circut board tabs off the housings without cracking them.

haha yeah i know the left one was easy and so was the right one except for one tab it was a pain in the ass haha

Mine are shot sadly, the boards lost their rubber grommet, so moisture has found their way into the sockets. The contact points keep rusting over, my turn signals don't work at the moment. New ones are en route from my store.

All the bulbs are good, but since it's one giant socket essentially, I'm buying two new ones.

The first set of pics are actually linked to my inactive myspace account, stumbled upon them a little while ago, and took me an hour, but I dug through my photobucket for the rest of those pics.

My other thread got all carried away, and I couldn't dump all these pics in the first post. :/
