Tried some pre-rain x stuff and it made night driving in wet weather pretty difficult for my eyes.
I haven't yet but I wear glasses and they have antiglare something or other on them so I'm not sure how I would be affected. Either way I'll let you know.

I can report that day two and no fog even with the windows up during a heavy downpour.

Sweet ad. I need to read the hole thing now.

Here's a question for you gear heads. Lets say I was entertaining the idea of purchasing a late 70's Trans Am Firebird. What are the pros and cons of those cars. Anyone owned/worked on one?

They kick ***. Aaron and his dad have some experience, and a buddy of mine owns four of them.

Thanks for the input 89. As far as going rate, what should you expect to pay for a good condition one?

I honestly am not sure. Fully restored=$$$

Ours needs a little work and my dad would let it go for 9k.

I'll have to ask him about it later.

So I go to work yesterday morning - headlights work fine. Come out from work, no headlights. Drive home with my parking lights and fogs.

Investigate - connectors are fine. If i plug the bulb into the stock plug instead of my upgrade harness, bulb works fine.

Oh...what's this?




Well that could be why...it gets more interesting:




So... the power feed wires for my harness got crushed below the battery tray somehow enough to rub the insulation off the wires. The result was looks like it was a fun party as the wires arc welded themselves to my fender and burned the battery and tray. Well that could have gone worse....


Lucky 7s i guess....
