I have installed LED bulbs into the turn-off lights



everything works perfectly, but it was complicated to install a bulb into the left headlight because of narrow gap between light frame and accumulator, so to install it I had to rely on my fingers only

I washed my car today, but unfortunately I forgot to take a shot of my car's side (though I remembered about it on the way home).

Interesting, so you can only use that with the window down? (slots into the channel does it??)

Never seen that idea before.. :confused:

Your car looks quite sleek  :goodjob:

no, I can use it with the window up only (it sticks to a glass with a suction cap)

Oh, I see.
Wouldn't that be a pain (not a pane  :)) not being able to open your window though without pulling it off first?

well, I can lower the glass with a mirror installed, but up to a certain level, actually - a gap is sufficient to pass a passport to an immigration officer upon crossing a border.

Could you make a "mod" and install it on that small glass below/behind?

You know..using something like a phone holder or something, that has longer and flexible "rod" and installing the mirror on that? Something like this and placing the mirror inside? But you would need to make it better-looking :)

And as for the wheels. I really like how they look on the car. Nice pick!

And about the Ceed Wagon. Looks great. They've been selling them here also for some time now and I keep seeing one in the morning when I go to work.

Thanks for the hint, Accim  :goodjob2:, I will think it over, but I'm afraid a length of a flexible pole is too short

I like the idea of the small window just  ahead of the side mirror, it might relieve some of the blind spot that our previous 2011 Elantra Limited and our present 2013 GT (I30) has.

Here is what I found parked by my car when I came to an airport employee's parking after a day shift


I had seen this car (or that might have been another one) before for a couple of times, but it had been parked in different places.
One can see how much snow we have got recently (by the time I took that shot I had cleaned my car off)

If you have white powdery stuff over here, you get arrested.

it is a common bulb, produced by Osram, the one, that came with the car, perhaps phone's camera makes it look more white

yes it is, the colour seems similar to mine too, but I didn't pay much attention to it yesterday, so I can't say that for sure.

It has been snowing for days here, so everything is covered with a thin layer of snow, even the roads, which are supposed to be cleaned constantly in such circumstances.


about BD's message - I seem to have been wrong, right. Sometimes such a thing may happen even when a text is in Russian.
 :wacko:
