got them all in my backyard shed, i needa fix some minor problems on my car and then im gonna send it off for a complete paintjob :D gonna stick with the oem colour

my abs,trac off,svs lights keep tripping on each time i drive the car, and then stupid driver side signal is ticking/flashing too fast wen applied, and i've changed all the signal bulbs on that side and it still flashes fast :D do you know if theres a ground for signal flashing? or maybe its just a bad signal bulb socket on that side

SVS/trac off/ABS light...good chance you've got an early sign of a bad hub assembly. Get any vibrations or humming noises above 40mph?

The turn signals...check the rear tail light circuit boards (where the bulbs plug in). Is the rubber seal still there? Check the sockets for corrosion, water may be finding its way in there, and rusting the connection points on the sockets. Happened to me already, and you need to buy new circuit boards (not worth fixing) and they'll come with new seals.

Also, check the headlight assemblies to make sure the 3157 and 194 bulbs are lighting up.

well it was still ticking/flashing rapidly even with my tyc tails, then i put the GT tails and its the same story, so i doubt its something to do with the rear lights..but wat i noticed is that the inner signal bulb on the driver headlight only has one filament flashing rapidly

and on the passenger side the inner signal bulb has 2 filaments and takes turn flashing

short story, i replaced all the bulbs on the driver side and still no fix, the sockets look really clean inside on the driver side, can the wiring by the bulb socket be loose or something?

Check the harness plug (where the circuit board plugs into) and see if any of the prongs on the board are bent, or if the harness plug on the car shows any signs of corrosion and/or heat damage from a surge in voltage.

Sorry I forgot to post to some of your replies.

Just drop me a line if you are having a meet in London or Woodstock I will see if I can make it.

I like the progress of your car keep up the good work and as for the turn signals I have no clue.

enjoy :)

I see you painted over the black rubber accent strips. I hope those where prepped correctly, they will flake off after a few months if not.

What's with the overlays on the corners of the headlights? Looks chinsy IMO.

Now do work.

More pictures! It looks really good. :blink:

Looks good!! I would have gone for a color match on the headlights but with your hood it doesn't look bad.

Now... paint the hood!!!! :blink:
