I washed the Fit and Odyssey with a foam cannon I bought from Amazon:
I just used whatever car soap I had and it seemed to work pretty well. I'm almost out of soap so I'll buy some of the dedicated foam soap to see how it does. This was my first time using it and it was pretty easy.

Got my PIAAs Xtreme White Plus replacements since my last set burned out before they made a year. I'm leaning on selling them and just going LED. Looks like some people have had good luck with this set: https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...ink/3929/8565/

Installed the LED bulbs. I didn't have to rotate them for a good pattern but it wasn't super dark yet. They went in without much trouble. The rubber gasket was a little tight but nothing a little pressure couldn't fix. They are nice a white light.

Oh I still haven't got around to making that false trunk bottom to mount my subwoofer upside down on - lol
How is your sound damping project going?

How's the high beam pattern? I got some faux-projector LEDs from Amazon and while the low-beam is awesome, the high-beam is very anemic.

HB is decent, could only use in the neighborhood as too many cars on my daily commute. LB is way better than stock, so I may seldom need to use HB. With halogens, I would use HB every opportunity since LB was awful.
I really don't know why I waited so long to switch...

I've got a 45 mile commute to work and I make better time on the back roads since I'm coming from a rural area. Speeds don't exceed 65. I don't really hit traffic till I get about 5-10 miles from the city.
Another 45 miles on the way home and I take even more back roads to avoid having to make left turns at traffic lights.

B1 maintenance reminder came on. I didn't have time to do it all, but just did the cabin air filter.
Installed this one for less than $5

I changed out the filter and oil at 78418 miles. Also cleaned the maf with crc maf cleaner. I was going to clean the k&n but the oil had spilled out.
While the splash guard was off, I replaced the panic horn on the passenger side behind the bumper. I still had the stock one when I changed out to the college hills Honda sport horns. Water must have got into it as there was still some trapped inside when I removed it. That area must not be as well protected as ActionJackson had the same issue.

Just ordered the K&N filter recharge kit so I'll clean out my engine filter when that comes in. It's low priority as I'm still getting 44-46 MPG.
First drive after the oil change and MAF clean, the car does seem to perform better. MAF didn't look dirty/oily, but figured while I was waiting for the oil to drain I would do something.

I cleaned out my k&n filter so while it's drying I put back the old paper filter. We'll see if I can tell any difference on the drive tomorrow.
Lots of bugs, probably from the Sumole air scoop

On the the drive in this morning it did get about 1 mpg lower on the trip from home to work. Did feel like it was slightly less peppy than the dirty k&n. I'll do another run with the cleaned k&n.
