e-codes (and other stuff)

if you're not running them, you're missing out..

i just went for my first night time drive after installing the e-codes, and DAMN.... it's completely unbelievable to me how much of a change in lighting you get... when people say the cutoff is so sharp, they're not kidding.. these things.. i came driving down the street, and i could see, clear as day, the horizontal cutoff... one instant was lit up like mad, and then slightly above that it was like i was driving without headlights..

simply amazing.
if you've been thinking about it but weren't sure - do it. i was in awe.

I also installed a dummy flashing LED right next to my lock in the driver's side door today, and as luck would have it the switch that came in the kit was an exact match for the holes near the ash tray in the early cars.. fit like it was made for it. had to get creative to find a constant +12V when the car was off in the center console area... turns out my antenna switch (not sure if all cars are like this) has got a +12V wire on it, so i just branched off of that... really convenient.

also cleared out my trunk today and re-installed my sub (took it out for storage space)...

and finally, after about a year I finally have a rear view mirror.. it broke off last year and I've just never got around to replacing it...

so, all in all a good day for little jobs....
