It has been pouring rain and foggy constantly here in Georgia so I decided that it was time to do the "Lego Mod." I started by pulling my light switch out.
Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr I took the switch apart and found the piece that I needed to replicate. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Couldn't find any Legos but I do have some nylon laying around. Nylon stock is quickly becoming my favorite thing to work with. Did some measuring, cutting, and filing until I had something that looked familiar... Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr The only thing left to do was to cut the stops off the button. My Klein flushcutters made quick work of that. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr I put everything back together and as you can see from the video it clicks perfectly. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Buttoned it back up, started the car and pressed the button. This is a good sign. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr And of course some shots of the fogs on and off. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr I have some LED bulbs and a sticker for the button that I hope matches the front fog switch on the way. Now I am ready to scare tailgaters, and of course be seen in the rain and fog... |

Klii Motorworks. @kliimw on insta.
I played around with the lighting a little more this weekend. I added LED license plate lights, and LED bulbs in the rear fogs. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Just in time too, it was dark on my drive in this morning. I am not doing well with the time change.

I hadn't really looked that closely to be honest.
they work. I assumed they were factory. somebody that knew something owned my car prior, as the headlight washers were already disabled. for sure though need to do that gauge cluster. |

The license plate bulbs transitioned from halogen to LED at some point. My 07 has halogen, 11 has LED. Probably an LCI vs. pre-LCI thing.

I was a little worried about my car catching this Corona business so I modified my intake.
Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr But in all seriousness, I got a euro airbox for the wagon and put it in last night. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr Of course I cleaned it and treated the whole box with Solution Finish, and coated it with Gyeon Trim.

Sweet thread, man! (ineedabubble from GJ) I am seriously considering going down this route if I can't find an E90 M3 DCT in my price range in the next few months.

Since car meets and pretty much everything else no longer exists, I had some free time to change out the interior lights to LEDS in the wagon. I started by pulling all these bulbs.
Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr And the finished product. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr I have a couple that are acting up, so I will play with those tonight. I also got a CEL on the way to work this morning, I think its the mass airflow sensor. I broke the clip on mine, so I used the one that came with the Euro airbox. That one threw a code so I put the one with the broken clip in and I think the connector is backing out. Oh well, it gives me something to mess with since I have all this free time. |

Nice on the Euro Intake! I did that on my car about 6 months ago and love it. Inspecting the filter is so much easier and it just has a cleaner look in the engine bay. I feel like I gained a slight bit of throttle response (less initial lag) likely from the Euro intake deleting the charcoal filter. It also has a bit better intake sound when in sport mode in the higher RPM range. I did a Mishimoto silicone intake tube at the same time which likely contributed to the sound increase.
