Got a new set of headlights, thanks to SC/Alero, when i commense to disassembling them, i want to install the upgraded harnesses so i can use the 80w streetglow bulbs, but i cant find the link to the site that sells them, does anybody have that link?
i have 2 sets of everything i'm customizing so far, i ended up with 3 radio bezels, so i can experiment a little.

wait you need a link on how to dissasemble the headlights? or install the new bulb harness?
i think either one yo ucan do by your self. because its just a matter of clipping the positive and negetive, and splicing it to the new harness.

Anybody know if these 194 matrix wedge bulbs are direct replacements for the corner 194's or will they require the load adapters?

i dont know how much it runs, but dupont makes a chrome paint that actually looks like chrome well, 99%. I'm sure it's pricey though.

Yeah, those say to test before use on painted surfaces. I'm sure they'll come out allright. ![Thumb](images/smilies/smilies/thumb.gif)
