Different look, more durable so far, and the range is MUCH better than my original remotes.

For the headlights?

For the front turn signals.
I converted the inner most bulb (DRL) into a parking light/turn signal to match the original turn signal and I plan on converting the side marker (194 bulb) into a turn signal only instead of a parking light.
So the sequential flash will start at the center (original DRL spot) and go to the original turn signal bulb (center location) and end at the side marker (194 bulb) location.
I think it will look neat with my white/amber switchbacks.

Did you burn through that tank of 89 yet?

Yeah... a couple times... lol
I got the Wi-Fi OBD2 dongle from my brother and now my oil temperature and transmission temperature and gear selection are working great BUT I still can't get an ethanol percentage to read.
Before I thought I had it working but it always showed 74.9%...
Now it is showing -0.4% which can't be right either.
Anyway... last tank of mixed driving showed 14.5 MPG average on 89.

That's frustrating for sure. As for fuel economy, what was your average on E85 and what do both cost per mile?
I'm still running E85, was going to switch over but thought I'd run a few more tanks of corn through it. Price went up six cents a gallon last time so the margins are getting close to being the same, maybe.

From my calculations E85 averages $0.19-0.22 per mile and I get about 250 miles to a tank.
89 averages about the same cost per mile but I get 375 miles to a tank.
The closest E85 to me is about 12 miles one way so I don't really think it's worth the effort.
The juice isn't worth the squeeze so to speak... lol

Twelve miles away makes it inconvenient unless it's on the way. I've started my seventh tank in a row since replacing the Y-pipe. We're averaging $.19 cents a mile and 277 miles. If my wife wasn't driving it, it would be $.17-.18 cents a mile and just over 300 miles to the tank. Last tank of E85 went 330 miles, burned 26.2 gallons. Last two tanks were at 80% Alcohol content, so it wasn't until the 5th tank that the alcohol content peaked. I haven't checked the current tank yet.
