I somehow missed that. Thanks!

I agree... $130 + $90 for shipping is a hell of a deal on those.

If you're retrofitting, Depos are mandatory. You don't want to put projectors behind fresnel lenses that are in the factory housing. Unmodded, Depos put more light out than stock. But putting LED bulbs in them presents the same issues- the focal point of the LED chip isn't where it needs to...

Nice build. I'm also jealous of where you live. When I lived back east, we'd always stop at the Rockland Bakery to stock up on loaves after visiting the grand parents in the city.

In your first post, you stated you have a '97, which has an A343F, not the 442. Also, if you have a '97, you should be pulling codes with a scanner and not the paperclip method. Also, it's not clear who did what work, but if your mechanic did the work in the tranny then diagnosing and fixing...

The LED bulbs in the factory housings are barely any better than halogen. Their focal point is different than halogen and you get a lot of stray light and cold spots in the spread. IMO, there's two ways to go about getting more light in a controlled manner- either a projector retrofit or the...

Since you're going to drive this mostly on the street, may I suggest looking at headlight upgrades because the stock halogens leave a lot to be desired, especially by modern standards.

Sweet! I'm glad you love it. The stoke meter must be pegged.

So what'd you end up with? I see the listing for that '94 is gone...

I've have the Weathertech in a few other vehicles and they've always been good, but the ones in my 80 suck. They slide all over the place, and I had to cut out the part under the gas pedal to allow it to go to the floor. The cut out ended up being huge because the mat would slide around and...

It looks like the nuts are there, just drilled out. If it were me, I'd try gently tapping new threads into what's there first.

Any chance you have a shot of the high beams against the wall?

Good point. Does anyone know if those Hella Retrobrights get hot enough?

You're welcome! You can use pliers, channel locks, vice grips or whatever will hold on tight enough. If you can't pull the ball up, you might have to unscrew the ball if it's too close to allow the jaws to clamp down on the knurled part. But yeah, it just unscrews. Be sure to put some anti...

Yep, a few times over the years. I just take it out, clean up the pin on a wire wheel, put a bottle brush in a drill to clean out the hole, and put it back together with a light coat of anti seize. I guess you could use grease as well. Short of a complete redesign of the pin to incorporate...
