    LED headlamp replacements?

    I drive at night in areas infested with government goats (deer) and I NEED good headlights. I've a 2013 SV with LED low beams and they appear to have left their best life behind. Problem is I can't find any replacement LEDs without buying the entire OEM headlamp assembly (@$700 EACH it's a bit...

    Newly electrified.

    I'm getting a cyclical vibration at highway speeds on my LEAF as well as pops and crunches out of the front end when it's put under stress, so I'm thinking strut/spring assemblies and CV axles will make it a much quieter/smoother ride. My car began life in Wisconsin, so while it appeared to be...

    I need to look into that federal income tax credit further. Illinois EPA has a $4,000 cash rebate on used EVs, but the program has been overwhelmed with applications and I'm not counting on getting it as the program was only allocated $12 MILLION for FY2024 and they were already well beyond that...

    I believe that I read that the 120V charging isn't recommended in the owners' manual. I was still working on my 'EV legs' when I said I'd not had it below 50%. I've now had it down to 9% and 15% due to the deep freeze everyone's experiencing. I've learned that range anxiety is a thing...

    DIY 12v Battery Change

    There are, however, tools that plug into the electrical system that preserve the 12v power during a battery swap. I have one I used on my Toyota Highlander when I replaced the battery in it to avoid any undue complications. I don't recall if it plugs into the OBDII port or where, exactly, but it...

    Newly electrified.

    I have LEAF Spy PRO, but I've not plugged it in yet. I was considering plugging it in and taking a 45-50 mile ride today. The weather sucks, so the lights, wipers and climate control will all be running. My battery is indicating 9 bars, or roughly 66.25%-72.5%. My range, fully charged, is...

    Newly electrified.

    Purchased my 2013 LEAF SV last Thursday, January 4th and picked it up on Friday the 5th. It had a little over 57k miles on it and enough battery life indicated to fit my purposes, so I took the plunge. So far I've had to rethink its original nickname (Fugly, since I loathe black cars) since it's...
