You are too young for this Chris but I remember the uproar when halogen headlights came out. People were all pissed off because they were "blinded" by the light. Now those same people could not drive without the better lighting. HID's are the same. Done properly they are bright but a much better light.

Good evening guys.

Pressure washed the frame of the truck today and put some "rust converter" on that I had sitting around. It is Rustoleum brand, and SUCKS, IMO. Frame looks a little glossier but still rusty, not black like it says it will turn in to.

Going to pick up some undercoating tomorrow.......

What is this motivation you speak of? Seems it is about as rare as the money tree...........

Good evening everyone!!

Long day. 2 1/2 hours of driving to/from Trimont, then church potluck tonight. Thankful for my parents who are able and willing to watch the kids for us.

I've always wanted to do an HID conversion. I'm kinda nutso about my headlights being bright. We drove out in the country so much at night, I wanted good lighting. The best vehicle we had for that was our '04 Trailblazer. The headlights on that were awesome. The beam width and intensity was incredible.

I'm turning in soon. Good night all!!
