I just bought a 96 Q45. I'm in miami,fl. It runs great but has a few issues and since I never owned a import I'm askin u guys. Anyone know if I can get projector headlights for the car? What about clear side markers? Is there a way to turn on the foglights without turning on the headlights?

Next when I'm driving the speedomoter stops working and the car gets hard to steer until the speedometer starts working again. The SLIP and TCS OFF lights are on in the car.

Welcome to NICO!

I'll leave the cosmetics to other members, but I will say that rewiring your park lights can be done by changing the power source to their switch at the stalk.

The steering/speedometer issue is either a bad cluster or bad speed sensor. I would use the search feature on the forum as well as read up on the diagnostics in the factory service manual, available here.

Cozy up with the FSM as the 1996 is a unique model and search and read the previous posts here and in IOM. Some of the best early posts are no in General Chat.
