Me too, man. A thought I have that is not as adventurous but could still be fun would be to install the Rigid Industries lights in the vid in post #23 above or the $30 ones your refer to AS FOG LIGHTS and then use them for lighting in the early dawn, late twilight, or to keep police off my back when I am rolling slowly and in less need of long range visibility. They seem to illuminate really well, and I think would be useful and power saving in the partial light situations. Would be fun to experiment. I'd have my 35w HIDs for the genuine dark, but the 15w LEDs for the twilight/dawn. What do you think? Would cars like mine and brucepick's still need the heat sink and such you describe or can the manufactured lights/reflectors be installed "plug and play"?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
