[gods_kitchen]

Nice looking avant! I think there's a thread about the side marker in the S4 forum

heres what i said in this other thread: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129942


mine dont fog unless water gets in them or i wash my car with them on. so if there is condensation in them this is what i do:

just run it under some water, make sure the water gets in it to clear out the condensation, then i let them dry on a paper towel inside my house for a day or two. (you could shake some of the water out prior to letting them dry on the towel, but most important, make sure there is no sunlight on them or else they will just fog up again) after that, there is no fog cuz they dried in the shade, just pop them back it and they are fine.

that only happened to me the first couple times i washed my car with them on; now i learned to just put the stock ones on when im washing. otherwise they are perfect for me and i dont even have electrical tape or anything behind them. and yes i am in SoCal but lately its been really cold and gloomy and my ECS's are doing fine. hope this works for you

i believe there was something posted here or on audiworld about using vaseline on the edges of the marker. this will stop the condensation from coming in [up]

[xplosiveg06]

[A4Ber]

what u drive? maybe i seen u somewhere before too?

[Capt. Obvious]

I've heard another trick for the ECS sidemarkers is to push them in very hard. Don't dent the car or anything, but make sure they're REALLY in there.

I have a white B7 S4 - usually seen around borders/starbucks on el camino/Mathilda looking for parking spot (worst parking lot during dinner hours)

LOL - you must be talking about Sushi Maru and Rokko. I'm there probably once every 2/3 wks.

Starbucks has a parking lot but it's shared with borders, PF Chang, and all the other business there which makes it a nightmare to find a spot.

[10MPG]

Ditto on Tanto - I used to work for a major Japanese company and dated a Japanese girl for many years so I got my share of influence from them.

Back to the subject - sweet ride - will see you around for sure [up]
