Well its Kelly Cadillac and its apparently the best cadi dealership in PA, and I wont ever be going back there again. Im stressing about my problem with the remote not opening my doors and the tire pressures not working. Nobody here seems to have figured out the solution with that as several people have been dealing with the same issue lately. Dreading to have to go there and getting whatever the FK reset when my car is out of the garage next week but I have no other cad dealership in the area((( Guess Chevy it is )))

do you mean mirror or windshield?? Oh and people keep saying its that box in the headliner behind the sunroof however even if id get one off a parts car it would still require a recet of the comp to function so either way im screwed. Weird thing is that it worked perfect when I got the car and just went out one day. And both of these things seem to be interconnected the tps and the remote/door locks.

Never falling for aftermarket Ebay lights ever again. I got the same style ones for my Camaro, same features LED light strip, angel eyres, projectors etc. They are pure junk, they don't line up at all, the little LED are constantly going out, one of the angel eyes are burned out already and the projectors suck! Even with the HID kit i still can't see a damn thing.

Wonder . . . wonder. I don't mind fiddling with the wiring, but the output has to be AWESOME like my HID stockers.

You won't like the output....think about this. No auto mfg.'s are using LED's as headlights. They're fine for a little extra light, or some accent bling but they can't compete with halogen or xenon yet.

That post is like 6 months old and those headlights aren't LED's there is just an LED Halo around an HID bulb. Output on mine rocks!

Oh....so the LED halo is just a running light!

You still need to be very careful when purchasing aftermarket lighting, especially when LED's are involved, and even more so if the supplier is in Asia.
LED's come in many varieties of quality but they all look the same.

I've been in the LED business for about 6 years and they've certainly come a long way but there are still a lot of LED manufacturers in Asia making inferior products and making false claims about their life expectancy and output.

If its cheap, they're probably junk....and only buy from a company in the US because Asian companies don't like to give refunds or listen to complaints.
