What happened to the "Only getting rid of one, GTI or truck" plan?

Idk, just kinda feel guilty having so much wrapped up in toys while actively camper shopping.

I didn’t even tell my wife or kids it’s for sale, so if nobody buys it for what I’m asking I can just keep it and pretend that was always the plan.

We’ll see what happens.

Last Monday my passenger Osram headlight started flickering. Low beam would turn off/on/off/on very quickly during driving on a very foggy and cold November day. Of course I couldn’t reproduce it. Wasn’t sure if the whole assembly turns off or just the low beam. Yesterday night eventually it turned off long enough for the BCM to catch it. DRL error. My first guess was ground issue.

Today I fixed my own stupidity! In 2019 - when I installed the lights - I decided to go with an adapter between headlight connector and new headlight. By the time I thought maybe one day I want to install HIDs again.

Here is the issue: Ground crimp of Pin7 failed. Replaced terminal and car is fault free!

Switched out the AliExpress LED DSG knob. I think having the LED knob was more about the fun of the project than if I really lik dbthe look. My son loves it so we will put it on his GTI.

Went with another AliExpress special. Fits more into my fixation with red accents.

I wish my letters looked more like yours but I couldn't find one that showed dimpled leather with silver and red ring LED ... not sure if I love this on first impression, but maybe I'll love it when it's lit up in a dark interior. I think they made the letters white so that LED can shine thru in the dark... for 35 though, not bad

I got these magnetic under cabinet lights for the trunk/hatch area. They are usb-c rechargeable and motion activated with a night mode so they only come on in the dark. I added velcro to the magnetic mounts to make charging easier.

My dad bought my wife and I a few of those, but they were aaa batteries. Those things ate batteries like CRAZY. Hopefully you won't need to recharge them every 5 days.

Looks great. Hope you will be ND up living it. Agree that the white letters should pick up the red light when illuminated.
