Default oil change from hell and a little update

did an oil change which was a PITA because the oil filter wouldn't unscrew using two different oil filter wrenches... ended up stabbing it with a screw driver and using it as a handle to unscrew.

put my snowboard attachment on the roof rack



and also installed DDM 35w 6000k HID in lows and fogs. the fogs went fine, but I wish that they would make longer wires for the low beams.



this is where I mounted the ballast for the fog lights


didn't take any pictures of doing the low beams but its basically same as fog lights
mounted the ballast under the headlights using double sided tape

Umm… That double ended nipple was supposed to stay in the car. And why is that nut against the filter? If that nut belongs anywhere it is the other end of the nipple to act as a jam nut to keep the nipple from coming out when you remove the filter.

I hope you put the nut on the cooler side of the nipple. If you didn't the same thing will probably happen again.
