That's interesting... and pretty cool engineering, too, if indeed a fact. I don't want to order needless components. The eBay link provided above leads to what appears to be reasonably priced bulbs, but I want to be assured they would solve all the headlight needs. Thanks for your input!

Thanks for the reply and the link! So, this bulb will replace the low beam 4300 and would then allow low beam/fog lamps to both produce at 6000 in my case. When high beams are used the existing 4300 would produce (fog lamps automatically cut off on high beam selection). Can the high beam be...

I just completed an upgrade to HID-6000 Fog Lamps. In the effort to ensure the best match with the headlights, I'd like to upgrade them from the OEM 4300 to 6000, as well. Question 1: Has anyone done this for their XLR? Problems encountered? Question 2: Can this be achieved by replacing...

Thanks, guys!

Simple question... but I've not had it done yet and don't have manual close: Is resetting the "Oil Life Remaining" indicator as simple as toggling to it on the DIC and pressing "Reset"? If not, what? Thanks!

Ya know... got to thinking about the actual light output and reliability issues and decided to go the HID route. I like the LEDs in the interior and trunk, but felt that the added output would serve me better up front. Now to see if V-LEDs will take the fog LEDs back :rolleyes: I'd like to...

Thanks for the reply. So, I take from your response that the ONLY access for a bulb swap is from the rear, such as for the HID install... ?

I have an '06 V and want to replace the OEM fog lamps with LEDs from V-LEDs. What is my best avenue for accessing these sockets? Can I pop the outer lens or must it be accessed from the rear? Also, has anyone replaced their under hood lamp with a LED? If so, which lamp was used? Courtesy...

Thanks for the info, XLRATING! I spoke with A.J. who claimed to be one of the owners. This is the information he allowed regarding an embroidered hood liner for our XLRs: 1) New liner (from GM) with Cadillac Crest plus "XLR" embroidery is $354.95. Add shipping of $75. Total = $429.95...

I'll add a bump for the hood liner info, as well. Have the deck lid liner and love it! Have seen where someone had an airbrush job done on the hood liner, but I'd much prefer to have the manufactured version. Thanks!

Yes, I've changed the battery a couple of months ago and it is strong. I'll driver her some this week to check her out... thinking and hoping temporary glitch (the old brain fart, as mentioned). Thanks for the replies!

Last night I experienced my first "warning" issue with my '06 V. I returned to a parking garage after attending a football game and before exiting the building the Traction Control light and the Check Engine light illuminated. As I proceeded it appeared that my transmission was not wanting to...

GizmoQ... where did you come up with the flag, if you don't mind my asking?

I have a Lockpick, too. It took a couple of attempts to get the right one, and this one doesn't provide a display like I think it's supposed to... but it plays the tunes fine once started. Good luck in your search!

I'll throw my hat in for the Wind Restrictor, as well. Mine has the Caddy crest and is illuminated with the brake light module. Lots of positive comments... looks really good, IMO... and actually does deflect some of the turbulence : ) It costs a relative premium, but I'd have it for the...

Picked up a battery 2-pack and installed both fobs. Both work fine now :) Just their time to go, I suppose. Thanks!

Exhaust system looks great! I'd love to add one to my '06 V but have received mixed signals as to whether a Corsa system exists for the V series. Does anyone know for sure? If not, what is the explanation for omitting the V? If so, is there a comparable system that does fit (with similar...

Thanks, Dave... I suspected (hoped) it would be due to battery weakness. I'll pick up another later today and give her a try. A good weekend to you, as well!

I've noticed of late that sometimes my door or trunk will not open when I have the fob in my pocket or even my hand. Today I received a couple of information notices of "fob not detected" and the start button didn't work until the third attempt. I'm away from home and have the 2nd fob with me...

A bar of soap? ; )
