Hey guys, my dash lights and tail lights stopped working, I have brake lights just not tail lights. Yes I did change the fuse and they still don't work. It happened after I took my headunit out and wired a new plug for a different head unit but the new headunit blew so I'm not not using any head unit. Could that be the reason why they aren't working?

and even if it looks good you should change the red 10a Tail Light fuse located on the bottom row of the fuse panel under your dash, when doing your headunit you probably have popped the fuse and i have seen fuses pop and still look good visually so please just try it, if you dont have a new 10a just swap one from somewhere just to check

do you have a crappy dimmer installed on your dash? cos if you do and its faulty it will cause your dash lights and tail lights to stop working on an r32

ive got that and it has nothing to do with the back lights

This should also be effecting your park lights as well.

Step 1: check fuse - actually see if it is popping, don't just replace.

Sounds like you have shorted something. Wiring a head unit isn't hard, but because it blew, you majorly f**ked something up.

What I would do, remove the head unit, all the shit you put in, and check the harness and make sure no wires are touching where you pulled it out. Replace fuse and try again.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
