Finally found something to take the place of my missing center caps. IMAG2135.jpg
Was a little hard to find something that would fit the bill, but my gf found these in plumbing. They fit perfectly. IMAG2127.jpg IMAG2134.jpg
Now I just have to plastidip them and silicone them in. I also noticed today that my ds lower lens had moisture in it, vwhich sux. I had run a bead of silicone around them and I also sealed the part that the bulb goes into the lens. With all the rain and flooding we got I guess it was bound to happen. 20170505_132552.jpgUp to the first step of my house.

My gf had to park it on the sidewalk and my dog was trying to get to her! Lol

Up to my running board. 20170505_133530.jpg

On the sidewalk. Notice the water in the street on the left. There's a 1 1/2-2" curb, and the water is over it.

Funny thing, in maybe 5-6 hrs, all the water had receded.

Those, I think, are Sylvanias, high beams. They're high intensity or something like that. I don't like them but they look cool there when they're off! Lol

I highly recommend the Phillips 9011 HIR bulbs. They are brighter than the standard high beams, and at most, need a little trimming of the tabs on the bulbs to make them fit. Some aftermarket headlight fixtures don't even require that.
