Thinking about picking up the little part tonight and splicing everything in when I get home.

Yes. I did this mod a long time ago. It's fairly easy and works great if you want to keep your original head unit.

It was a couple days ago, BUT my brother and I picked up a new toy for him. It's a 1999 trans am. We got it from "Spaz".

got in my car this morning and it wouldnt start...looks like a dead battery "fingers crossed"...glad I didnt drive it because it started raining halfway to work anyway.

Sorry no pics, too tired and forgot but the Monster Clutch, flywheel, starter and bell housing are in. Just hope I installed the clutch disk correctly. They only go on one way correct?

Also finish running the wire harness on the bottom side.

Just need my rebuilt transmission to come home and throw it in.

haha funny you mention that...I stopped at a gas station on the way in to work this morning to get a drink and put some gas in it and a dude walked by and said it looked like the bat mobile.

My staff calls our car "The Batmobile" when I take it to the office.

Spent SEVERAL hours changing out the stock head lights and fog lights for true HID's. Not a hard job at all, just very time consuming. I also go the extra mile to wire loom all the wires, zip tie wires out of the way, hide everything for the "stock" look, and I also don't cut and splice any wires. That way, if I ever get the urge to go back to stock, everything is there and it can be done w/o a hassle.

when you say true HID's are you referring to projectors, HID's, etc etc or did you drop in an HID kit? Only reason I ask is because I havent found a really good projector solution for my car yet...I ordered some stuff online like 2 or 3 months ago but I havent installed any of it yet and they arent projectors...they are a different housing "same size as stock" but they accept a different bulb so you can run an hid kit. I got LED's for the fog lights because I kept reading that our fog lenses like to melt under the heat of an HID kit so I didnt want to fool with it but I did get a 35watt headlight kit.

That's it!

**RONS98TA** · 03-24-2014, 03:20 AM

No I did not get projectors, just an HID 6000 temp kit into the stock looking housings. I bought different housings years ago for the high and low beams. The fog lights are in the stock housings. Haven't had any melting issue yet, but it has been 20-30 degrees the past 6 month's here in Maryland. I guess winter is never gonna end!! UGGGHHH!

based one what I read it looks like it takes a while for any issues to pop up with the fog lights...you have to run them quite a bit to have any heat issues.

Here's a pic of one of them I found when researching the problem but I really think you'll be ok if its a 35watt kit. the 55's seem to be more of a problem.

**RONS98TA** · 03-24-2014, 10:50 AM

Looks like someone had a cold and spit a "lugey" in there!! LOL That's nasty looking. I hope that doesn't happen to me. I guess only time will tell. I will try to get pics to ya Dzel, cause I took a few. Just haven't got around to loading them onto the pc yet.
