This JD guy is costin' me money :)
Although $18 for TWO vs $25 EA  is allright!
Maybe I can rice up my car with some of that carbon fiber vinyl.....

No kidding, he got me to spend money on something I had no intention of buying!

I was thinking of using that cfv on a dash panel for the challenger.


That brings me to another question I will post in this thread since this is the only interesting thread going on-

Anyone got any experience with the gps driven speedometers-Speedhut and Autometer both offer them, I believe.  Wondering what happens when you lose a good gps lock in certain terrain or in a tunnel, etc.

I suppose the speedo will behave like the regular GPS does?
I hope there is a remote GPS antenna and not something burried in the dash.

Can only do one of two things - blank out or hold the last value.

Anecdotal: I have a GPS at work that is accurate with 1/2'' (inch) in ALL directions.

I ordered a pair of these housings  http://www.ebay.com/itm/165mm-H4656-H4-EURO-CONVERSION-HEADLIGHTS-/330549982609?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item4cf6507591#ht_1796wt_1398


So a pair of housings is 26.95+26.95+(15.99+8 shipping)?
no need to explain why I ask ..... :icon_redface:
It's $26.95 for the ( 2 ) headlight housings + $15.99 shipping = $42.94 total. They include a pair of H4 bulbs with the housings, 55/60 watt. But if you're going to use the D2s bulbs you won't need the H4 bulbs included with the housings. If you use the H4's, you won't need the adapter shields neither.

I remember my uncle talking about how back in the day they would replace a head light with a spot light for mucho better illumination at night.  But then it started becoming illegal.
anybody hear of that? or is he full of it?

I still see the harness listed for $15.00, they did lower their raptor kits by $5.00 tho. I got my relay harness for $8.00 on ebay, same harness.
 
Did anybody install their hid kits yet?

It's been a while since anyone replied or added to this post.  Wondering if anybody has got thier HID's installed yet. Would like to hear more about your installation / experiences. Pictures would be great too.
 
Looking at doing this change over during the winter months myself.
 
Best Wishes of the Season to All 
 
thx.

DDM are sneaky, website lets you register with dual addresses but only ship to billing at checkout.
USPS available at least as  a consolation.

I hate that dual address crap...not allowing it, or if allowing it, being too dumb to look at anything other than the first line...and making it worse by not telling you that they only ship this way or the other so you can outguess them and use the correct address.

I guess the city numbnuts that work there don't understand that some of us have to get our mail at a post office and our shipping at home.
