Why? What Happened to the ones that were on it? I mean, I saw that you ordered new ones, but you didn't always have 31's on it did you?

back on topic.... pulled out of the driveway in my wife's car and looked in the rearview mirror as it pitifully looked back at me from its spot in the driveway.... heart sank a little... STUPID HIGH GAS PRICES!!!!
Another thing you can do is get the HD wiring harness from LmC need to double check model number. It's plug and play and this weekend I'll pet you know how much it'll kick the voltage up. On another note HID will always give mire light that halogen as long as you stay at 5000-6000k too much higher and as the light turns blue you'll lose light.

I removed a bad PS pulley that had hammer marks from the PO and replaced it with the one off my parts XJ. I was originally gonna just swap pumps but the parts one had a broken bolt in it. The pulley I put on is some type of composite, not to happy about that, lookin to buy a metal one soon but for now I have no squealing which was my objective.... one more trip to my Uncles house to move the pulley forward a few hairs... nothing like a real set of tools !!

I doubt that I'll need the wiring upgrade... the HID kit I got draws 35 watts. I will probably upgrade the wiring later just for the sake of it. Just checked the box, the color temp is 4300k. Nice n white
