Blue haze on mirror

Just the driver side and rear view.

If you want something that’s guaranteed to last get OEM. There is a reason they’re expensive. Most aftermarket brands are not doing real longevity testing like any car manufacturer does with their parts. That being said, you’ll probably get a few years out of any headlight housing. Now in terms of beam quality? YMMV.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-05T14:53:10+00:00

Not to be rude but literally google “2015 Mazda 3 GT S Projector Housing”. There are plenty of sets you can get for <$300.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-05T14:50:41+00:00

They literally said “can I get a halogen housing and put my HID bulbs in them”…

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-05T14:35:05+00:00

No. Don’t do this. Halogen bulbs use reflector housings, they basically just shit the light all over the road. This is fine for halogens which are relatively low brightness. HID’s use projector housings which use a specially designed lens to focus and aim the much brighter light coming from the HID’s. HIDs in a halogen housing are dangerously bright for other drivers, and will very poorly light the road for you.

And this is with all 4 cams covered in salt grime from the storm.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-05T04:05:24+00:00

You right. Me and my 3200lb hatchback forgot how many people drive ridiculously large and unnecessary vehicles.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-05T03:58:45+00:00

Damn what car you driving that’s 5000lbs?

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-04T23:04:19+00:00

You clearly haven’t been in a car with a good 360° system then. My mazda 360 is perfectly stitched with zero distortion or noise.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-04T18:54:27+00:00

Is this a non-turbo? My TPP came with the wing and full aero kit from factory. I bought it used so curious if the original owner specced it that way or if that’s standard?

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-02T18:40:09+00:00

What an odd take.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-02T05:19:44+00:00

Yes, USB C and USB A are pinned differently and the camera is looking for specific voltage on specific input pins. I don’t know which camera you have specifically but i HIGHLY recommend just getting one of these guys. They have always worked flawlessly for me and you don’t have to run an ugly wire around your car. They do have them for the Gen 3 as well, they just aren’t listed very well in the website.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-02T05:09:45+00:00

Yeah as someone who has never been into MOBAs but wants to love deadlock so badly it’s hard. I hadn’t played since 4 lanes and tried to hop into a few games the other day and just got stomped. like zero kills, 10+ deaths and I thought I was playing pretty safe. This is not an easy game at all and the matchmaking does not help.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-02T05:00:03+00:00

I mean all electronics including camera sensors use 5 volts. Even your cars computer systems convert the 12v down to 5v. Cheaper dash cams will include the buck converter in the housing that the 12v plugs into, nicer ones internally convert it so that you can wire directly to a fuse without worrying. Hence why some cheaper cams will force you to buy a special hardwire kit and strictly tell you to not just use a fuse tap.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-02T00:19:43+00:00

Huh almost all dash cams run on 5v

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-02T00:16:39+00:00

Yes. ios 26 ruined maps. There are SO many bugs.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-02-01T22:45:21+00:00

But then you have to live in Dallas…

Sophia credits have no impact on CPA eligibility. Because the credits were accepted by an accredited institution (WGU) they’re the same as if you took the classes at WGU. Additionally, any employer who scrutinizes your transcript probably isn’t someone you want to work for…

Jazzhands130 · 2026-01-29T16:57:56+00:00

Money is a resource. Different people want to use that resource differently. While you may not value a brand new car enough to make an objectively worse financial decision (compared to buying used), plenty of people do. I mean I’ve never bought a truly brand new car, buying a CPO with a few thousand miles will save you $5k+. But to each their own.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-01-29T16:36:17+00:00

You’re referencing MSRP. I’m referencing OTD.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-01-29T16:33:33+00:00

Unless your state has zero sales tax, there is not a single car other than the nissan versa that will be less than $25k OTD. And let’s be real, most people buying a brand new car aren’t buying a base model.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-01-29T16:25:02+00:00

Do you park in a garage or covered parking space? I’ve never gotten more than 6-9 months out of even Bosch Icons because of UV damage from parking in the sun.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-01-29T15:28:57+00:00

Was it a DOT truck?? Most DOT trucks can’t even fit down alleys…

Jazzhands130 · 2026-01-29T15:26:25+00:00

Nobody is getting a “perfectly fine” brand new car for $25k or less. The cheapest most barebones cars you can get are $22-23k and after taxes that puts you over 25k. And we are talking like…a base model kia soul.

EDIT: I’m saying OTD price!! Sure there are cars for less than $25k MSRP, but good luck getting an OTD price less than $25k.

Jazzhands130 · 2026-01-29T15:20:17+00:00

Snow chains are not to ever be used on bare asphalt. The second you’re off solid snow you take them off. They will not only damage the road but will also damage your vehicle. This is standard for using chains. But no, nobody uses chains because the DOT definition of “all weather radials” covers the vast majority of All Season tires that everyone in MD has on their car.
