I can't say I remember 100%, but I believe I did and they were without issue. They were CAN Bus according the eBay ad, so they should work fine for our cars (link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-7443-7440...031624?vxp=mtr)

I went down a rabbit hole and ordered some boss LEDs from Japan (William please insert fast&furiousovernightpartsfromjapan.gif). They should be here this week...I think...I can't read the emails...but I'll post an update on how they work out.


I really just wanted to post on here to let you guys know that I had a friend refer to the color as "dog dick red" and I can't get it out of my head

It's spot on.

Sadly, I somehow don't have that in my vast collection of gifs.

Can't even argue that. I edited the first post to reflect, but it seems I can't update the thread title. Mods? Can you help with a questionable browser window title?


Also, damn.

They're some fancy ass Philips Ultinon bulbs to replace the 7440's in the front of our coupes so you can piss right off with your four doors and normal bulb sizes :slap

So this was a lie. Something came up every morning as I was prepping the car for the mountains and our plans were derailed. No biggie, as the pups would have been in the back seat and they can only handle so much hooning...really need to get them some harnesses...or maybe a pair of these?

BUT I got diverted thanks to a road closure this morning and ended up in a mostly abandoned industrial area with wide roads, hard corners, and open sight lines. I flicked off the DSC and did everything I could to get the car squirrelly after an apex (as it was happy to do on the old, mismatched, staggered tires). Well, them Coopers STUCK LIKE GLUE. I don't know how much is to be attributed to going with a square setup, but the car is just flat out planted in every way now.

And I got my $100 rebate in the mail yesterday.

Happy Cooper Customer™
