AeroNsx is infamous around these parts
Headlights won't turn on
For the last little while, I have noticed the headlights taking a longer and longer time to come on. Now, the HIDs do not illuminate at all.

Someone suggested it might be the switch, any thoughts?

And btw, in a pinch, the foglights work surprisingly well as headlights...

The switch is an easy DIY project and not expensive.

Your GT2 Wing
I see you have a GT2 wing on your 996tt. What did you do to keep the wing warning light from coming on?
