I won’t worry about it. I don’t think it is distracting or blinding oncoming drivers.

Also leaking oil out of intercooler tubes on passenger side. Just a drop here and there. Going to clean it out and replace o-rings when I receive them.

Well, that's a bummer on the lights. Have you checked to see if maybe you have a crack or something on the housing? Maybe just swap the old bulbs if you have them as well?

Housing and projector look fine. Just is one of those lines that the stock housing has running across it.

I can’t find the old bulbs. I swear I kept the good one but no idea where it went…

not sure what lines you're seeing in the light pattern, but my early-year factory Denali projectors had plastic reflector bowls which tended to get spider cracks over the years. that started showing in my beam patterns after a while.

You can barely see the lines that go across the headlight. It looks like my H1 projector is just catching it and throwing light out.

Doing pcv work and realized I forgot to order the turbo mouthpiece plug…
Someone has been in here. Whoever removed the cold side last did not replace one of the o-rings, I don’t remember which side but I am pretty sure the intercooler side, which explains why I just seeped oil like nuts. Good thing I bought those o-rings as I went ahead and just replaced both of them.
Pulling the cold side tube wasn’t bad but it was not as easy as I thought it would be. Think it took me an hour with no knowledge going into it. Just a lot of wiggling and moving.

I should have just bought the HSP mouthpiece I wanted but I’m restraining myself. I hate capping stuff, drives me nuts.

Heh, resisting the urge to modify.. especially the diesels since they have the massive aftermarket options available.

@silentbravo This is what I was looking at. I thought bronze chrome from Prismatic would look sweet but some say I should just go gloss black.

You can't go wrong with black, it is ordinary though. This seems to be one of those pieces that people get colored up though, all the cold side or hot side piping to match.
