Acadia Celebrates 1 Year With MQB #3, Wonders If It's Time To Upgrade...

Plus, by all accounts the knock offs fit like absolute shit. While I'm a fan of Zhong Zhong stuff where possible, something fitting/looking like ass is a no-go.

Let's see.

Ran the harnesses for my MK7 euro led lights.

See that left side? That's buttoned up all nice?

I ran it backwards like a big dumb dumb. Had to take it out and redo it

All good though, fixed it and got it all taken care of.

So tomorrow the adapters I ordered from Zero will arrive, and I can quickly swap my rear tails

No real exciting pics of it, but wired up my dash cam too.

Then, loaded up under the floor of my hatch.

Got Monica, my AGM battery, and the jaybeefour installed. Routing for the wires coulda been better, but eh. Whatever.

Also got my Zhong Zhong wheel and climatronic controls installed .

Probably will be it for the day. Tomorrow I might wire up my dash cam, and run the harness for my sequential tails. That way when my adapter from Zero arrives on Monday, swapping to my euro LED tails is an easy task.


From there, all I have left to do is put on my drilled and slotted rotors I believe?

I'm debating this harness. How much of a bitch is it to run?

Not bad if you have a wire snake. The clips on the rubber seal that protect the wires going between the hatch and body break. I've always gone around them with black silicone afterwards to ensure water doesn't get in.

Which wire snake? I’m having a bitch of a time finding one small enough for automotive wiring.

Looks like it'd work on sunroof drains too

My clips broke and there was no amount of sealant that would fix them!

How are you going to beat Toretto carrying around all that junk? Stop lights are opportunities.
