I'm not sure I ever noticed these before, but I found four of these behind the seats. I couldn't find anything in the owners manual or with the search function and could use some clarification if this is the international sign for "Don't drink and drive" or if they're indicating that carrying wine bottles behind the seats is foreboding.

650 Lumen Blue Underwater LED | PontoonStuff.com

Stailless steel, be great for under dash or under car lighting !

Unless it is to be "underwater" as stated for cooling reasons.. Put high powered "drain plug" lights in the center toon on our boat.. Instructions noted "no more than 10 seconds out of water when lit"..

The ones in the link I listed say :
Surface or transom mount thanks to our unique overheat protection that allows you to use this light out of water.

Kinda funny, I just noticed those as well this weekend when I pulled my subwoofer out. Bottle "verboten" would be more like it!

The doors open a little wider so I don't always have to lift up the doors fit better and the fenders are aligned good, I had thought about having them taken off but I spent too much $$ to to ake them off so I eill just live with them .

Took mine to a local cruise last night, really enjoyed the evening. Spent about two and a half hours there, a lot of people checking out the car and asking questions. It's billed as the largest weekly cruise in southwestern Ohio, I just wish it was a little closer to where I live.

On Wednesday....
New set of Bosch spark plugs in my 2004 since I just reached 100,000 miles
The old (original) ones didn't look bad at all

I've just installed a replacement grille and hood emblem, and did the cabin air filter today. Still need to vacuum up all the crap that fell out when I pulled the old one.

Just an update, the flashing center mounted brake light module install is still working GREAT! I got a comment from a Deputy Sheriff just the other day that these modules grab the attention of people behind you who are distracted. The Deputy asked me where I got mine from, I told him 'ebay'. He is going to look into getting one on his personal vehicle. Now that's a pretty good endorsement!

OK, had a little distracting bug in my glove box light, only lighting on occasion. I found the switch plunger was sticking. I read the service manual and quickly was able to 'pop' out the assembly with a trim stick where it illustrated it in the manual. Upon disconnecting the TWO sets of wires, I found the plastic to plastic rubbing was very rough. I took a toothpick with a little dab of petroleum jelly, and put a spot of it on the plunger where it slid against the metal and plastic below it. I also added a small dab to the switch/plunger contact point and now it is smooth as can be. Reassembly, and now every time I open the glove box (when the iggy is on) the lamp lights brightly. Glad I fixed this, it was just so annoying at times.

A little dab of Vaseline is almost as useful as Crisco in the movie "The Help"
