Today, I decided to upgrade the wiring harness to one with relays. That went very smoothly. I also mounted up my 50/60w Hella headlights. Nice, bright light on the driver's side.
I managed to break one of the adjustor plastic things and, of course, in a fit of rage, ended up losing the screw as well.
I need a beer.

You can buy replacements from LMC, Dennis Carpenter and others. Also, Ace sells some plastic inserts that are pretty close. Hope you enjoyed that beer(s).

Already ordered some from Dennis Carpenter.
Of course, I couldn't stop messing with it. Now, I have also managed to lose one of the springs that holds the bucket.
Today is just not going well.

I guess you'll have no more dim lights at stop signs.

Hella headlamps? Never heard of them. Are they extra bright or something. My F-350 could use some "better" eye balls to see with in the dark.
I know what you mean about the adj's. However i am not drinking beer, Capt-n-Coke more my flavor.
Cheers!!!
