LOL Which is just my luck. But even if it does happen, I won't be cranky for long, because we have a little project for his car this weekend. HID foglights came in today.
Sounds like a nice little project. Let us know what you find out.

Forgive me Blackie...there will soon be a law allowing us that are blinded by those HID's to SHOOT them. What a pain.

Sori.

Oh, nothing to forgive. I don't have them in my truck, and they are really too bright in my opinion. I just like helping him work on his car. LOL

I'll post it just as soon as I get it. I have posed that question also in both the NC Chapter, and the Ranger Forum. Of course I'm like the only NC person still awake, and still no bites in the Ranger forum.

There's always that chance that he may not know, but he's really been helpful in all other situations I've had, so we'll see. At any rate, I'll go easy on him...lol. Have a good night.

from an earlier post on those headlights HIDS I think someone called them, I really
myself dont mind them, but it's those gosh darn fog light's /driving lights that poeple
insist on having on, I dont know if poeple think there cool or what, but they need to turn them OFF there so irritating and uneeded when there's no FOG no HEAVY RAIN and
no SNOW, wish they would stop building the cars with them on. Sorry but thats kinda a sore subject for me anyhow.

Ought to be illegal, where's the state's ballot intiative saying those lights are dangerous to others... I put the high beams on when passing them on the road; can't compete with HID fogs but my headlights are 4' off the ground and blinds them too. And motorcycle highbeam on, only low beams are required, plus some of those morons tilt their headlight up a couple of inches higher than normal. I rode a big bike for 8-9 years, that krap isn't necessary.

Lol i1dery, guess it's a sore subject for both of us.

High-Intensity Discharge lamp of the metal halide family on vehicles. {mercury vapor, metal halide (also HQI), high-pressure sodium, low-pressure sodium and xenon short-arc lamps.}

You were with the Lancers eh? The squadrons are deploying ****'s, hard on the aircraft and crew so I bet you're busy at AIMD.

I was the T-bird (CTT) with VAQ-138 Yellowjackets 78-81. Small world, nice to see ya' here! Before that on Guam and USS Kitty Hawk, after VAQ went to Japan, DIRSUP on eight boats for years out of Pearl Harbor, NAS Pensacola, GW-I, then SUBSCOL department head in Pearl again, etc etc, and ended up back here as CMC for the NSGA tenant on Whidbey until I retired.

We're livin' on a beautiful island, we'll hoist a few at the G2G starting June 22nd
