Spyder 2007 2yrs later by charlottesmom

I have owned my 2007 Spyder for 2 yrs now and I still smile everytime I turn her on!
I have had no problems whatsoever with this car,and that includes winter driving in New England.The car was a 50th birthday present from my entire family and she has brought me a great deal of joy. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a sporty convertible with lots of cool options. Mine is the Still Blue color which was only run during the 07 production year, so I have only seen one other one like her in the 2 years I have been driving her.I wasn't sure I would get much top down driving time in our climate, but with the heated seats I often drive her top down into the Fall....like I will today since its going to be 68 degrees this afternoon!

i just got my GT last month. Runs great. My only concern is the front lamp, its only light up 10 feet on front of the car, makes me turn on high beam all of time when i am driving at night.
Anyone has the same problem? Anyone knows how to fix it?

"...its only light up 10 feet on front of the car..."
 
The Eclipse is fairly low to the ground so it may seem that the headlights don't reach that far out. What did you drive before? A SUV for example would have better throw because it's up higher.
 
That makes me think, the 2009s have new HID headlights which are supose to be brighter. Anyone know if you can put HID or halogen bulbs in the '06-'08 models?

Tire chains on Eclipse by silveroak1

Anyone out there ever put tire chains on their Eclipse? Owner's manual for the 2006 says you can't use them but I'm going to be in ski area and may need them to travel. Please advise if you have used the chains and, if so, how they worked.

If the owner's manual says no I wouldn't do it. Might void your warranty. Besides, would you ever forgive yourself if your chains threw a link and you had to listen to it banging up your nice ride?
 
If you really HAVE TO put chains on I would call your dealer service tech and ask why the manual says not to. Might save you some trouble. There's plenty of clearance in those wheel wells so I don't know why chains wouldn't fit.

My advice is to rent an allwheel drive car for the trip, the eclipse sucks in the snow! It's a warm weather car/

Is that on the plastic bumper or the metal? That sucks that the dealer won't stand up. What's his excuse?

I know on older Eclipse/Spyders it is located behind the glovebox. You will see the fan blower from underneath. I Don't know if there is a recommended mileage. It probably depends on your climate and how many hours you run the blower which I know I'm not keeping track of.
 
Here is a link showing replacement filters/options:

Here is a link showing it done on a 2000 with pictures:
