I would move that camear BACKWARDS toward the window itself and then make a aero shroud for it. that is VERY draggy. |

Depends on whose brand you buy... not to mention, there are single DIN stereos with an LCD display... http://www.ebay.com/itm/150759007488 Or a single DIN that flips up/down to a double DIN sized screen... http://www.ebay.com/itm/151076234307 http://www.ebay.com/itm/271261438319 http://www.ebay.com/itm/271273417378 Disclaimer: I have never used any of these stereos, I just happened to be browsing Pyle stereos on eBay. |

I just want to let coche blanco know that my head gasket is still in tact 1,500 miles in. No other problems to report either. |

I'm about to order up some e-code 4x6 H4 headlights to finally get to the headlight upgrade I wanted to do. For those who don't know, the e-code headlights are superior to DOT approved headlights because they provide a sharp beam cut-off at the top. This makes it possible to use bright H4 bulbs or even HIDs without blinding oncoming drivers. NOTE: this is technically illegal, but ohio has no inspection and this will actually make it safer for other drivers. In my case, I won't be going HID because of the added expense, but an upgrade from the stock wiring to my own wiring, along with some nice H4 bulbs, should significantly increase my lumens output. I'll probably get to this sometime next weekend. e-code headlights aren't easily available so I had to order them up from the interweb. Still deciding which bulbs I want. |

Get the bulbs that look like Jesus being born from 10,000 suns and placed in each head light to light your way.....saw some lights like that in Moab and the car was like 5 miles away.....and I still was getting sun burnt....one day I'll have those lights too. |

Jim! Check this out... http://www.ebay.com/itm/251367384908 I know the condition says "For parts or not working", but if you read the description, what they actually say is that they can't test it. It's got rear camera inputs? |

Had an exciting weekend getting my new headlights in. All I have to say is WOW. much better than before. E-code headlights, even these cheap autopals, are far superior to any DOT headlight out there. I'm sure my wiring upgrade has a big part to play in how bright things are now also. I'm currently using the cheapo halogen bulbs that came with the autopals so I bet a premium bulb would be even brighter. But, seeing as I live in a suburb and I won't be using my Geo in the snow, I don't see any point in dropping $40 on slightly brighter bulbs right now. Pics! Sitting there looking beautiful ![]() 90% done with installation ![]() Before alignment ![]() After alignment at eye level 25 feet away ![]() After alignment at headlight level 25 feet away ![]() I used Autopal 165mm H4 headlights with included bulbs And this very easy to install headlight harness which was cheaper than buying everything needed for me to make it myself: Harness It came out real good and I would recommend this mod for anyone looking to upgrade their headlights. |
