The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

Here’s a picture from the eBay listing but besides the sketchy water on the LCM ... it totally says “S.W: 1.3”

Totally sketchy - the title and description does not match up with the pictures. I would ask them for clarification.

SW 1.3 is also ancient. That looks like a picture of the wrong item. You may want to clarify with the seller whether that's the pictured item. If it is, I'd pass, due to the water and the label that doesn't match what the seller is claiming.

Anyone have any thoughts as to why one of my license plate lights isn't working? I put in LED bulbs awhile back which worked fine. After I noticed one out, I bought replacements thinking it was a blown bulb but that didn't resolve the issue? It didn't look terribly corroded from what I remember but I could use some help?

The LED lights are finicky with the placement/contact. I'm not sure why. They have to be just right and then after driving for a bit, it moves out of that narrow "working zone". I think it's mainly one side. Curiously, which side is out?

Interesting. It's the driver side I believe

Passenger side for me. I just went to check it out. I pressed it in a bit and it lit up again. Originally my brother opened it up and played around with the bulb inside the casing.

welp, funny enough I just went outside to check it out and something clicked. I remembered reading something about flipping the bulb around if it does not work one way. So I tried that and BOOM, light!! Happily I realized that the new bulbs I ordered had a great cool blue tone unlike the yellower first pair I bought. I went to swap in the new bulb on the passenger side and realized they sent me the wrong bulb... Its literally always something with these cars! Doesnt matter how mundane

I have another question though. Who's car is this and how can I get that stance. Its perfect! Low but not slammed and fills the wheel wells nicely.

I can probably answer that as my stance is practically identical and have the same wheels.

Coilovers will get you the ride height and the BBS CH wheels have an offset that get you that perfect wheel fitment look without the use of spacers.

Thank you, I feel like I should have known that but that picture really just spoke to me. I really need a suspension refresh but I was thinking Bilstein B8s with H&R sports -_- this is a hard decision
