well, it's been another week, and still no warranty replacement for the passenger side halo...think i'm well past two months of waiting now. so i went ahead and did the "final" steps of my lighting project.
opened up the driver's side light and remounted the small halo, this time with gorilla glue. had a little bit splooge out the sides, but it passes inspection. then the real fun started...and you know it's good if it's more fun than baking your light open again!

while i had the bumper off i zip-tied my grille lighting strip to the bumper. it's colorshift as well, so the wires had to be spliced into the halo wiring to go to the control box in the cabin. not a big deal, except that i wanted to be able to turn off either the halos or the grille independent of each other. so a while back i ordered a cup-holder delete switchplate from emblempros.

so, after determining which wires could go to the switch before the control box (it's the black one out of the 4 on the colorshift stuff, btw), i had to yank all my wiring back through the firewall in order to make the hole bigger for the added wire.

got all that done, then went to drill through the bottom of the cupholder. well, i had some good momentum on the project that night, so i didn't switch out my unibit after drilling the firewall, and wound up going a little too far down. i didn't expect an electronic module to be right beneath the rear cupholder! oops. i definitely entered it a little with the bit, but it seemed like everything was still working.

until this morning when i actually started the car so i could move it and get more space for caulking up the firewall, mounting the control box under the headlight switch, and cleaning things out. after looking at parts diagrams on gmpartshouse, it looks like i drilled into my yaw sensor. i had a service stabilitrak mesg when i started the car, and none of the nannies (or HSA, for that matter).

so i think i found out how to disable HSA by accident...

everything else about the project works as planned, so i'm pretty happy about that. and if i'm looking at the right module on gmparts, it's about $100 to replace.
