One month ago yesterday we drove up to Wytheville, Va and picked up our 2006 Canyon SL that had 108,300 miles on it, In that time we have driven it 650 miles, averaging 22.8mpg.
I have added power door locks, PowerWindows, a grab handle on the passenger side, a wireless car play radio, whiteface gauge overlay with blue nightglow, and Z85 Quarter panel decals.
It runs great and drives great, really enjoying this little truck and my Wife likes it too.
the only thing I still want to do is to replace the foggy headlights and parking lights and get a set of floor mats. Preferably Weathertech.
And this was just the first month, the adventure begins.

In response to replacing the foggy headlamps and parking lamps much to my dismay the aftermarket ones fog up soon after installation. You may be best served by going with OEM replacements.

I put some on my previous Colorado and they were still good when I sold it 3 years later.

It's hit or miss on aftermarket housings. A good rule o thumb is add some more silicone to old seals(or blackjack/weatherstripping adhesive if u can deal with the mess) I've run spyder housings and even hit a deer with the same ones, a couple of times. In freezing balls off Temps.

I run 25k lumen led bulbs, crosswired at the beam selector relay, with additional housing leds driven off drl signal.

Had a few aftermarket headlamp assemblies in the past, and I have never had much luck with them focusing the light properly. I replaced the assemblies on my 07 canyon with OEM and they are perfect... And they are not as expensive as you may think anymore.

OEM looks to be $144 each plus shipping, how much did you pay?

Something like that $150 or so... I think the marker lights on top were like $75

That is out of my budget…. I may just polish the ones in it or just live with them as is since I hardly ever drive after dark. Old eyes 🥸
