Tyres

Make sure to check the tyre pressure daily with a glance and once or twice a month using a tyre pressure gauge. Keep in mind that if the tyre pressure is low, this will reduce the fuel economy but if it is too high, the tyre may wear out prematurely.

The tyres also need to be occasionally rotated and balanced as recommended by the manufacturer. To cut down on fuel consumption, make sure your tyres are inflated. This will also help to extend their life and brake pads.

Fluid levels

Also check the brake fluid, oil, transmission fluid, engine coolant, and power steering fluid regularly. If one of the fluid levels are going low on a regular basis even if you checked it and you think there are no problems, you may need a mechanic to better address the problem. The fluid levels themselves can cause a breakdown on your vehicle if they are left underfilled.

Air filters

Air filters are one of the most overlooked parts in the car and you might just notice the filters once they become too dirty. When they become dirty, they can reduce the engine performance and can become partially clogged. Make sure to have this replaced about every three months if you are a cautious driver.

Looking for a nice replacement for the factory amber lenses of your car? There are cool choices to upgrade your corner lights, side markers, and tail lights. In addition to the modern styling of aftermarket lights, you have the option to pick clear lenses for a nice aggressive look. These lights are also available in smoked lenses. The two popular lenses, smoked and clear, can make a dramatic change to the overall look of your car.

Which looks best on your car? It comes on personal preference. Generally, people base it on the body colour of their car, but both options can make a big difference to your car. These cool aftermarket lights are designed to give your car a unique look not seen in boring factory amber lenses.

Because these lights are made to original factory specifications using high-quality materials, the fit and finish are dead on. In fact, with some basic hand tools, anyone can easily install new aftermarket corner lenses, side markers and tail lights to their car.

Replacing the corner lenses is easy. All you need is a long flat-head screwdriver, put it down to the top and bend the clip out and pull it out to the front. Remove the light bulb socket and you are ready to install the new one. Put everything back in place and as you push the lens into the opening to lock it into the position you will hear it click. That’s it.

Side Marker Install

They are really easy to change. There is only a screw, a clip and an electric part.

One quick note, to get the best end result you will have to replace the stock amber bulbs of your corners and side markers with stealth bulbs to fully eliminate any hint of amber. These stealth bulbs blend in completely with the lenses and still flash amber when they light up.

Tail Light Install

Remove the plastic panel at the back of the tail light by turning the wing nut clockwise. Pull the wiring harness outwards inner bulbs so carefully disconnect it. Unbolt the 8mm nuts that are holding the tail lights behind. Pull the tail light gently. Install the new tail light back and tighten up the nuts to secure it and plug the original socket. Install the plastic panel, secure it and you are good to go.
