What are those white headlights called that BMW / Mercedes / Lexus / Inifiti / Acura use? (the kind that blind you as youre going down the road) Are they Xenon?

What does a 180 deg. thermostat do? Just read temps higher or cool it more?

BTW...Whats an SLE package?

SLE=Sport Luxury Edition. A little more flair than the standard SE: leather, spoiler, floor shift, sunroof, etc.
A cooler t-stat will open at a lower temp, keeping your coolant cooler as well as the engine.

That'* cool about your supra, but mines got a 5M-GE, very limited availability.

Anyway, the bonneville I'm getting has a spoiler, and suspension selector, but I don't think it'* an SLE

Spoilers are standard on all trim levels. It'* only an option in the sense that you can order one WITHOUT one.

Didn't some of the SLE or SLE SC bonnies have the option for CCR?

How about a Vin Number? That would tell us for certain what model it is
