    Went to replace the cabin air filter today... My god guys mine was brutal... if you haven't changed yours in a while check it. I had a colony of those little helicopter leaves and a group of spiders.

    On this same topic - what does everyone use for filters? Last time I checked Canadian Tire didn't carry the one for my car. Anyone find them at places other than Napa or the dealership?

    Interior and exterior detail at the shop. Nothing exciting, but always nice to have a clean vehicular object

    Got the Lower Control arm on. Snapped some bolts, something so simple turned out to be a pain in the ass.

    @r0mund0 oem switch? So you can turn on your fogs independent of the headlights? If so nice

    It has a separate switch on the arm but unfortunately the fogs will only come on with the head lights on. Can yours be turned on separately?

    Nope I always hated this fact, I would have preferred control over the fogs on/off function.

    If its anything like the old ones, you can make it work independently, but I don't think any of us have the wiring diagrams yet. In the second gen, it's controlled by a ground coming from the BCM, so I just added a ground, and my fogs come on with parking lights, instead of with headlights.

    Removed the bezel around the fogs or plastidipped on vehicle? Was out looking at doing mine and looks like not much clearance between the top of the chrome and the next piece

    I removed the main bezel then pushed the tabs from behind to remove the round inner bezel. The inner bezel is made of hard plastic and it was even tough to push it out from behind -if you just try to pull it out you'll prob break it.

    I've tried it with it on just now.... and yeah I couldn't get the top part.. I'll have to do the next one taking it off I guess.

    Where are the tabs for the main bezel?

    Ur supposed to pry back the inner mud flap in the wheel well and reach in and push the main bezel out while lifting the bezel up and out from the bottom. I was able to do it without reaching behind by prying the outer part of the main bezel while prying the bottom up and out. Be really gentle though and tape the bumper area where u plan on prying it out with a flat tool. Take a look at the pic below.
