Just bought a pair of HID from ebay. Seller was hidextreme. Lowest price in Canada that I can find. Canadian Tire has the fog lights for $13.99 so I am going to check those out again.

Once I have everything installed I will take some pictures and let everyone see the results.

LMAO and yes I am jealous of our lack of Tim Hortons. But at least we are not a bunch of beady eyeed flappy jawed, moosehead drinking hosers. Eh...

Tim Hornton's is not all that great. I was just in Calgary a few weeks ago, and just HAD to go to a Tim Hornton's or my Canada visit would not be complete...I tell ya, it's just a Canadian version of Dunkin DONUTS...or vice-versa....and I don't think DD is that great either. I prefer cold beer and pizza for breakfast....

I am in love with TH's doughnuts..I am from Mass so when I go to Maine to vacation/see family I go to Tim Horton's. I was addicted to Dunkin Donut's iced coffee until May or so but I have heard bad things about Horton's coffee. I just know I love their doughnuts, especially the Maple frosted one with a creme in it like a Boston Creme donut

Like everything else in this world - it ain't like it used to be!

Each store used to bake/fry their own doughnuts, from first - corporate recipes, then from bags of pre-mix (like pancake mix). You got to know which stores made which doughnuts bigger! You would then purchase accordingly. Now, all of them in Ontario are produced in a factory in Toronto (maybe for other locations as well, I don't know), frozen and then sent to the stores for re-constitution! Not nearly what they were.


The coffee ain't great, but it satisfies the LCD (least common denominator), or as my father-in-law says "The Great Unwashed". I know the guy with the contract to roast and grind all of their coffee for Western Canada and Eastern US.

Cleaned the hell out of them and primered them. 2 hours labor and 3 hours of waiting for paint to dry

Ok. I finally got a pair of HIDs for my truck. The ones I got from ebay were a rip off. I finally found a set on Amazon.ca.
Amazon Amazon
Cost me just under $80 taxes and shipping included.I still can't believe how bright they are. Anything reflective can be seen from about 300 feet. The only thing is that when I shut my truck off the lights stay on for about a minute. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.
