No way I was looking at those vents at lowest, seems way cheaper than buying Louvres from a company. How was the install, easy?

Transmission power/comfort switch. Used on early XJs.

??? the 2 top toggles switches (each run 2 of the 4 lights i have on the top of my rig) trying not to overload the draw on the electrical system by using only the light i neded at night. if i need a little i light up 2, if i need a lot i light up all 4. the red toggle is so i don't forget i have the back lights on.

ended in 1991 when they switched to the H.O. 4.0L engine. H.O.'s are permanently in power mode

It doesn't shut down 4th gear, it just changes the shift points. In power mode it waits for higher RPMs before shifting, when the engine is higher in the power band. In comfort mode it shifts sooner, theoretically making the shifts more comfortable.

I've heard many times though that you should leave it in "power" mode 24/7. Comfort mode will kill your gas mileage.
