Thats not the phrase I used when in college for resistor color codes, but I can not recall what was. This was back in 1995 and I havent used the color codes since....so I forget.

What they list for, and what they sell for are two entirely separate things. Are they selling for their listed prices? Maybe its time to sell if they are!

Re: ... I'm gonna put my hose into my headlight!

Big Mikes a great example of something done right. Whether or not you are a fan of externally mounted coolers, you have to admit that he has done it the proper way. But then again, its not run through his headlamp :P

Re: h4 conversion wtb/ help...?

Just to clarify why one would want e-code lamps vs cheapos, the beam pattery puts light on the road here you want it instead of blinding people and losing output performance. You will notice a nice wide evenly spread sheet of light and not the center hotspot of a cheaper housing. e-code vs cheapo: h...

Re: h4 conversion wtb/ help...?

Raybrig and Hella are often recommended for use because they are E-Code headlamps. They meet the lighting standards of Europe who does not allow stray light to be shot everywhere.

Re: Wheel sizing issues

I think if you answer that question, you can determine what diameter, width, and offset wheel you should get. If you calcu...
