So just changed my coolant temp sensor today which was more annoying than i thought itd be, anyways the whole point of this post is to give a little warning.....

If you do this, have more common sense then me and OPEN the reservoir to get rid of any pressure BEFORE you try and take the sensor out. Otherwise you'll end up with a face full of coolant...

So I'm stuck in a huge debate right now. I'm sick of automatic, i want manual again but I'm at a crossroads. Theres been a few auto>manual swaps lately, probably the most thorough by papa dios but I'm not so sure about tackling something like that since I need this as my daily and for the cost it almost seems to make more sense to just start over on a new b5, but after all the maintenance I've done to this one i cant decide...

I'm not sure which lights you're referring to. They're both the stock lights, except I did the clear corner mod on the headlights
