First off welcome to the forums. And seriously, I think that may be the longest post I have ever seen! I am glad that you are going to actually fix the problems with your car and not try and "band-aid" them like so many others do. If something doesnt work, they just pull the indicator light out.

To answer some of your questions:

1a. I am not sure about stiching, but there is a leather fix kit that has been mentioned somewhere on the forum. Try searching. Also, try some of emu's All Soft. It works wonders with softening and conditioning your leather.

3a. Normal idle for a Legend is between 600-700 rpm. Dont quote me, but I think the service manual says 650 is normal.

4a. Check out the newbie FAQ page in the second generation forum for a listing of recommended maintenance.

3b. I pulled the amber out of my bumper lights. Its not too bad, I just took a flat razor blade, put it on the seam and pounded lightly on it. It took less than 5 minutes to remove the entire clear lens. Then pulling out the amber was simple. Seal the lens back on with some RTV silicone sealant. Now I just need to get some clear bulbs that blink amber.


Post some pics of your car!!

mondonalds - thanks for the answers! how do you remove the bumper lense? on my teg there was just one screw on the front but the legend doesn't have any screws...do i have to take off the bumper or do i just pry it out? as for your search for a clear bulb that blinks amber....Sylvania Silverstars are for you!

It gives a DIY for bumper light removal, however, it shows pictures for either a 94 or 95, which have different front bumpers. You will need to remove the two fog light covers with one phillips screw that faces the ground. Then pop out the covers. Once they are out, you will need to find the screw that holds the bumper light on. Its kind of hard to find the first time, but once you found it, you will know. Loosen the screw then the bumper lights will come right out.
