New fog lights! They went on really easy and look pretty good in my opinion. Gets rid of that old "boxy" look of the original lights. They have a coated blue lens and an amber beam, 55 watts, $39.99. Not to mention they are smaller than the originals and allow a little more air flow to the radiator during these hot summer months. And they are aerodynamically "cleaner" and should be good for 2mph on the top end don't you think
Now I need to find some new front parking light/turn signal lenses.
And yes, I know I need to wash my car

Blue! Sweet! Gotta be at least 2mph just cause of that. Kinda on the same topic, had a kid with a newer nissan come in the other day. Wanted to put blue bulbs in the fog lights.... We didnt have the right bulb so he took off and went to the dealer. $200 per bulb!!! |

Yeah, anything blue added (not red) is easily good for 2 mph on a 3rd gen!!! (Obviously a cheap shot at schultzy-but hey, take them where and when I can get them)
My left side hella low beam light had a blue tint to it also before the bulb blew up inside the hella housing spreading white crap all over the inside of the light housing. You can easily see the difference between the right and left side low beams Guess that's what I get for running "illegal" 90/100 bulbs in them. |

Not that I'm taking sides here but I do believe the factory calls that color "Flame Red Mettalic"
If it were me I'd consider painting it Pewter |

He would have to own a red car to be offended, and this one is obviously orange.
Now Schultzy just needs to visit this site to finish things off! |

That's why we don't ask you. Because you want to make things ugly.... |

Well now wait a minute, that's not what you said. We were definately talking about the present, not the past.
And, I for one think Catherine Bach still has it going on for her. But remember I am definately an old horn toad. These younger women are just too fast for me. Just ask my wife |
