I just got back from camping with the grand kids in the Alabama Hills. I drove over100mi from Thanksgiving dinner at the in-laws' last night back to my trailer and only one person flashed their lights at me. I find running mostly low beams with the driving lights is all I need but the highs really reach out there. I've been using them for 11 years and I just inspected the left blub, connector and housing. They are all in good condition. I don't know how well the after market head light housing would hold up.

My non-sport head lights are plastic. Here's a pic of one after I cleaned it.

Looks like a clean install but I'm sure you were the 'side walk superintendent' on the job with nothing getting past your eagle eye. Looks like you'll get to test it out this weekend with temps in your area forecasted to be between 27°- 46° with a chance of rain turning to snow later in the week.

I like the idea of a toggle switch so you can turn it on when going down the road and not just in reverse. Post some pic of the installation when your done please. I would get the backup camera with the trailer tow kit for the 5er. Why did you get it through Amazon and not Costco?

Check this link out You may all so want to in stall a fluid filter when done.

These two links are not opening on the products for me.

This is great. Warm in the winter and cool in the summer, Mopar Mom will really appreciate it. How efficient is a system like that in your climate? Will you be cutting back on the wood burning too?

I can't think of any short comings. If you think their may be a problem run the tank down to all most empty then fill and add the Opti-Lube.

I think Flosser is the only company that makes the 9104 blub.

If heard of one brand performing a little different than another and of people complaining about the fan staying engaged all the time when new but I've never experienced this.

Stock wires, connectors and housings. No problems.

NO I've never heard of that, should be good to go right out of the box. It could be the aftermarket brand you're getting, try a different supplier.

I put the same blubs in my son's Volvo. They lasted 4 years of college and at least a couple of years at home. They cost me about $10 each from my supplier. EBay has them for $12.

I use Flosser 9104 blubs. they are a direct fit replacement for the stock 9004 55 watt blub and for the low beam in the sport headlight. These are 80 watt low beam and 100 watt high beam. This is a cheap way to improve the lighting out put. I've been using the same blubs for 11 years.

I think I'd go with #4. Separate system, if something go bad with the cd, mirror or another system that is integrated with it you would have to replace every thing. All so If you want to move the camera to another vehicle, you're not locked in, it would be easy. I was just a Costco looking at a rear camera set up. It was wireless 2.4 with a range of 30' (unobstructed) with several installation options all for the low price of 79.99. I've been look for a wireless set up for the back of my 5er so That I can keep an eye on my boat when towing doubles. I can't find anything I like yet. http://www.costco.com/CatalogSearch?keyword=rear+view+camera&pageSize=96

Two Fuel pick up in the same tank that feed the same pump will not work. The first pick up to run dry will suck air and cause the pump to loose it's prime. They would have to be isolated by having their own shut off valves and controlled to close be for air enters them.

This is why I moved from New England in '74.

Don't for get to slid the heat shrink on one weir and move in out of the heat range before soldering the weirs together. That's something we've all forgot to do.

Solder and shrink tube is the strongest and cleanest connection that will last. You can use the butt connectors that all ready have solder in them with a heat shrink wrap. This is one type.↓ Answer to bonus question Read what's under the forum headings and see if it fits. If it's to far off the mark someone will move it. No worries.

I've had that happen a few times. Person says "all the lights on the dash came on and then the car died. The starter now just goes click". I turn the key and hear click, test the battery, ok. I check a few other thing like oil level, nothing on the dip stick, and does crank pulley turn, no. "I think your engine is seized because there is no oil in it" "Can't be, I just had it changed yesterday". I look under the car and see fresh oil coating along the bottom. The oil is coming from the oil filter housing. I remove the housing and fin the sealing O-ring is not in the grove for it but jammed against the stop. "You better call the people who did your oil change".

I add 2 stroke oil every time I put fuel in the tank, sometimes a little more or less than 1 oz /gal. I haven't experienced any detrimental effects from using it as an additive. As for smog testing, the truck has been tested 3 times in the past 7 years and passes the snap acceleration test procedure with no reduction in the ratio of 2 stroke oil.

Over 186k. They drive the car between 70 and 100 miles a day.

Heat all ways goes to cold, Heat energy absorbed from the Sun during the day radiates back to cold outer space. Luckily the Earth's residual heat keeps us from being frozen every night. As for global warming, go ask Ted Danson. Todays high was 85° with a low of 54°
