Since you didnt specify "automotive" projects I'll assume ANY project...My 24x20 carport for our Daily Drivers BETTER be done by the end of next month...Hopefuly there wont be any more delays...The concrete slab and piers were finally poured last week...Actual construction is "supposed" to start Monday....but then again the entire project should have been finished by now

-Install my long tubes
-Get a tune
-Replace the neo wedge bulbs in my DIC controls
-Install my active cross-over sound system (probably not going to happen, as I don't have everything I need for this yet)..
-Pull and fix rocking seat

reguarding the neo wedge bulbs, I stronglyy reccomend you remove the bulbs from the holders and solder them into place. Mine kept slipping out and it drove me nuts. I ended up taking apart my dash 4 times before i finally just whipped out the solder gun.

TheRadioFlyer: Thanks for the tip regarding the holders. Soldering sounds like a good plan. I'd love to use LED's, but don't feel like fooling around with the polarity issue, unless there is a non-polarized verion available....

Cam install (Custom grind)
Fabricate my own Cat delete
Re-locate coils
04’ PVC system
Repair front speakers (I have a 1000 w system)
Re-tune
Make up my mind either Street warrior or fast
There you have it! An 11 sec car that can see in the dark.

Polarity is easy to figure out. Leave the unit plugged in, and turn on the illumation with the bulbs out. place the bulb in the socket backwards (bulb facing you) and note the position of the electrodes. turn the bulb around keeping the electrode contacts in the same positon and solder.

Twospeed: Good to see another light guy. What are you re-wiring about the running lights?

Mine are pretty modest compared to some of these but it'll be Bilstiens, C6Z06 shifter and maybe HIDS.
