    Breezy is fine, if it gets a bit gusty you can drop the legs and anchor it down. I wouldn't leave it open if you're getting some big gusts at the beach or in a storm.

    They really are a fantastic set of lights. Better than the OEM high beams imo.

    Simple and easy. Parts from different sellers but all fit perfectly. I love the carbon fiber look!

    Got surprised with a P0456 (after a “check fuel cap” warning a day or so ago) so I shotgunned a new gas cap at it.

    Only after I opened the package and rendered it un-returnable I looked at the old gas cap and saw some small plastic bits (like that plastic T end piece they use to attach tags to clothing) stuck in the rubber seal.

    So if the code doesn’t come back, that may have been it. That’ll teach me to not just look at it first!

    Happened to me. I added some sea foam high mileage in a parking lot few years ago. And somehow left the cap dangling and the door open.Went for a 50 mile drive and saw it when I parked it back at home. Thankfully and strangely no CEL showed up.
