Thanks for the reply Kinky. I actually got around to taking the bulb out today, and it's was actually an 880 made by GE. I went over to gelighting.com and it's not listed at all. I work at a MACK truck dealership, so I thought I would cross reference it with the Mack data base, and it was listed, bu...

I've been trying to find out for the longest time, but have had no luck. Does anyone know what the stock bulbs are for the fog lamps in the Optra5 / Reno? All of the bulb listings I've found do not list a bulb for the fogs, and I've not found any joy in the forums either. Does anyone have any specs ...

Thanks mate, I'll look around over there.

Got any part numbers for the Holden Viva hatch grill? I'm an Aussie, but I live in Canada, and I'd like to represent my homeland with some Holden parts on my Optra5.

It would probably be safer to connect a relay to the headlamp wires, and run the fogs direct to the battery through the relay.

Could it be that who ever stole your battery, stole your airbags as well? They are worth a small fortune, and fetch a good price on the black market. People steal them all the time and sell them on ebay and other places. Just my thoughts.

It could just be a mis-aligned timing belt cover. My Optra 5 had a whining sound 1 month after me buying it new. It ended up being the timing belt rubbing on the inside of the cover because the cover was not on properly. I figured out this myself by pushing on the plastic timing cover in a few diffe...

Are you using a dash kit to install the new radio, or are you just trying to mount it straight in to the dash? Maybe if you try using a dash install kit, it will create the clearance you need. I have never heard of an after market head unit being too long to fit, as they are generaly smaller than OE...

that would have been my sugestion as well.... usually if the obvious doesn't solve the problem, then change the whole thing.

Yeah, I've bought man LEDs off ebay. I purchased 100 bright green, with matching resistors for 12v, and even after shipping, I think it was like US$20, same for red. Have a quick look around, for the price you can't go wrong.

Rice is a term used by people who don't like other people's tastes, and try to enforce their own. People need to get over this whole rice thing, I mean the damn cars are made in Korea.... what else does it need to be any more rice? A chrome muffler? People express themselves in many different ways, ...

I've been running my Optra5 exclusively on Sunoco fuel, which has a %10 ethanol mixture with all it's fuel grades, and I've had the car for a year and a half. 18,000kms with not a single issue. Don't be scared, it's the fuel of the future.

You want to connect your amp to the preamp outputs, front or rear doesn't really matter, but for simplicity, since it is for the front speakers, use the front preamp pair. The other wire you would be interested in would be the external amplifier wire. This is used to turn on your amp when the head u...

They will work what ever way you wire them, but if they are wired differently on each speaker, your speakers will be out of phase, and will result in a loss of bass and a muffled sound.
