Can't just twist out the bulb socket?

Figured it out today by seeing a picture opened....must of had a brainfart last night!

I'm trying to remember which bulbs are H7's on the coupe. I replaced the DRL's (inner bulbs) just a few weeks ago and had to remove the airbox for driver's side access. It's very tight for all this stuff with the coupes; any photo you reference to help you will have to be specific for your car. The left side bulbs could just barely be installed without doing things to the washer reservoir.

I have so far had no luck in finding an LED or other bright-white replacement for the DRL position: lamps with cooling arrays just won't fit.

Since I don't have the Xenons both high and low beams are H7s....and no DRLs!

I was looking to order a radiator for my 06 coupe (manual) and I noticed that the part number is different for cars produced after 05/2005...

Does anyone know what's the difference between the two?

Has anyone ever retrofitted heated seats into the ZHP? Mine does not have the option, so is this an easy thing to do if you acquire heated seats?

You would have to buy the heated seat elements and then this kit

interesting... i'm assuming most of that cost is for the panel with all of the fancy buttons!

I'd be really annoyed having two buttons that don't work...

It might be a better bet finding the correct panel on eBay. Not sure if the wiring kit is available separately though...

Has anyone ever seen this before?! The connecter for my driver side turn signal is melted on...


Also, the green wire in my xenon headlight ignitor is cut in half; will soldering it back together work? The headlight is out and obviously that is causing it, already tried swapping bulbs and ballasts (before I saw that cut wire).

Tpms is at least pretty trivial to retrofit if your ZHP came with the right DSC module (and most did). Anyway, shameless plug, but I do have two panels with the heated seat buttons, one with tpms and one without, for sale.

See the attached pdf for the parts included in the kit. You could probably order all that stuff individually minus the center console buttons
