Changed my 2-way valve. Already did the gas cap, fuel canister, and shutoff valve. CEL came back on.

So sick of this 1456 code...not sure what to do next. Either replace the solenoid or have the dealer look at it I guess.

cruising in the center lane and the car infront of me locked up the brakes and then ran over a giant floor rug. i swerved right but it clipped my driver side and did a number to my lip and bumper. i know what my next project is :(

Your factory headlights aren't designed to accomodate HID bulbs. Using HIDs in your lowbeam buckets makes them dangerously bright, and you can blind other drivers. Even if you take the time to aim them properly, it's still a pain in the *** for anyone coming from the opposite direction. That's why most people here will recommend you wait on your super bright HIDs until you have projectors (like in a retrofit) that are designed for the increased light output.

Most of the time I'll agree with the "to each his own" argument, but there's actually some logic and safety concern in hating on your HIDs.
