#756 of 778 Re: Changing the map light bulbs in the rear view mirror [quietpro] by nosirrahg Jul 20, 2006 (1:03 pm)
Replying to: quietpro (Jul 20, 2006 11:36 am) I bought a new replacment from the dealer...my original one gradually quit dimming properly, and I suffered with it for a couple of years before finally getting tired of it (and like you, realizing how nice it is to have when it does work). As I recall it was $180, which is admittedly a lot of money, but since I plan to keep the car for another couple of years I figured it was worth it.   Easy enough to replace, just disconnect it from the windshield and unplug the wires...if I'd realized that I'd have probably done it much sooner.   You might also consider going to a "you-pull-it" type parts place and see if you can find a used one...might not last as long as a brand-new one, but would certainly be cheaper.

Replying to: nosirrahg (Jul 20, 2006 1:03 pm) A used parts store was what I had in mind. Thanks for the info. I figured it would be a lot of money. A factory replacement of the plain plastic passenger-side side-view mirror insert (just the mirror) was $45 new. Gotta love the fairness in that.

Replying to: quietpro (Jul 20, 2006 2:05 pm) My experience with electronic parts at used parts places has never been good, and I invariably end up wasting time and money going that route versus just buying the part new to being with. My previous car ('89 Celica) developed a problem with the HVAC controls, which were electronic. The AC worked, but the heat didn't...I went without heat for a year which was miserable, then I bought a used unit and put it in, which also didn't work. I finally broke down and spent the $400 for a new unit, and it worked great...I'm have been much better off spending that money two years earlier versus suffering through two years with no heat (not counting the money I wasted on the used unit).

Replying to: nosirrahg (Jul 20, 2006 5:20 am) well, i've been trying to do it the way you did for the past week, but my hands are too big to get a good grip on it. I wanted to use pliers but feared the bulb breaking.   an employee of mine, who also owns an impala told me he changed his from clear to blue bulbs and told me to pry the bulb out with a flat head screwdriver. sure enough, it popped right out, with the replacing of the red bulbs being easier than removing the standard ones.   my interior is completely red now, with the two rear reading lights, the two rear view map lights, the two under dash lights and the cigarette light all being red.   completely cool. thanks for the input everyone

Hello I was wondering if anyone out there has upgraded to 22" wheels on there 00-05 Impala. If so what kind of mods did you have to do to your suspension?
#761 of 778 Exhaust Tips by coppersunburst Oct 22, 2006 (6:33 pm)
Hi, I have a 2006 Impala and want to know if these are good exhaust tips for it. They look great in the pictures like they fit the bumper perfectly, but has anyone done anything like this to theirs yet?   Link to the tips Replies to this message: mymitties (Dec 08, 2006 4:36 am) quietpro (Dec 10, 2006 11:02 am) mymitties (Dec 15, 2006 5:13 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: coppersunburst (Oct 22, 2006 6:33 pm) Ordered mine from a very helpful seller on ebay here in Toronto, Canada. HE went to a dealership for me to make sure the chrome exhast tip would fit and look ok on my '06 Impala LT. Should be receiving package today ....i will let you know if you are still interested...

Replying to: mymitties (Dec 08, 2006 4:36 am) I'm asking for my sister. Please let us know if they look like the picture and total price paid. They seemed a little pricey on the web site referenced. Thanks! Replies to this message: mymitties (Dec 15, 2006 5:13 am) quietpro (Dec 17, 2006 8:11 am)

Replying to: quietpro (Dec 10, 2006 11:02 am) Hi Quietpro..... I received.. and now have the chrome exhaust tip on and it looks absolutely great !! They are exactly what you see in the picture ..great quality and no welding required with just 3 screws holds them firmly in place. Ordered from cadillac performance in Toronto... 2 for $60.00 on ebay ...much much cheaper than GM dealership. Hope this helps...      Frank Replies to this message: quietpro (Dec 17, 2006 8:11 am)
