You might want to read this site,

I havn't tried it yet.
But it just might help enough to prevent the outlay of lots of cash.

Well, as long as someone is there to yank on your finger when it's time to rip one off, you're fine. :lol: :lol:

That's true, but my daughter is starting to catch on.
Today she asked, "If I pull you finger again, Are you going to fart again?"
I said No I won't, so she pulled it, and

FRRRRRRTTTTTTT !!!!

She didn't think it was funny.

A while back I installed a Xenon conversion kit on my 81. When on high beam after a short while the circuit breaker would trip out. Switching back to low beam would restore it. I went to napa and bought a couple of relays,wire,connectors and fuse links and wired them in. My high and low beams are now operating on individual circuits taking the load off the circuit breaker and dimmer switch. Works great! :)
