    D4 light not working

    I'm hoping this is a simplish fix in that it it is just a bulb The d4 bulb no longer works , everything else works and it goes through the gears fine, the bulbs all work in the other lights so I'm guess in binnacle out and swap bulb from position 1 to d4?

    Is 35% window tinting dangerous when drive at night?

    You guys tint the windscreen/shield !! In the UK you can be pulled over for having the front windows tinted and made to remove the tints or cop a hefty fine I dread to think what would happen if we tinted the screen
