damn right.

 

As we speak, the silverstars are in. Those were easy to install. Finally Chevy did something right. Everything else I have tried to do were a fucking PITA to do. These were so easy to replace :)

 

Ill have the pics up whenever i find the cable to the digicam.

Not yet. My friend was gonna do it today, but just as we were about to get started, his wife called him back home :/

 

I really want that in too. I printed out the pin changes and everything. Whiskey, are there only 3 screws holding the top of the dash on? if there is, ill see what i can do. I really want that cluster in there!

The dash pad is held on by 5 screws. Once you get the dash pad out, there are 4 screws that hold the instrument cluster in and you also have to remove the "Lumina" trim piece as it butts up against the cluster and helps keep it in place.

o man. when it got dark out, i went outside just to turn them on and see the difference. I like how everything is white, and i flipped to highbeams and everything was yellow. lol Tomorrow night is the first real test to see how i like them, driving home from school

I hate the mini quads, they aint bad looking but hella expensive, one of mine has a bullseye in it, a high beam burns bright tho.........i always drive with my lights on, I've replaced one so far

 

The lights are much brighter then the headlights on my previous car which was a 95 cougar with ford's yellow headlight syndrome, I prefer the glass lens of the mini quad over the plastic of many aero lamps, glass or plastic the price of headlight pods for these late model cars is off the charts, I think some high end car makers use pyrex glass lenses on their hid crap

 

what does gm call the bulb thats a little bigger than the mini quad, used on like buick century in mid eighties and chev and gmc trucks in like 88-89-90 ?
