Regarding the Mystique rear dome lighting (which is missing on my 1999 Mystique): I have read about this modification on CEG, and I would like to know if it is feasible on a car with a factory power moon-roof; if os, using same part numbers for light unit, or using the same as in the front (with map-reading lights)?

Fog-lights: I have the factory fog-lights (lights?? more like LED's!), which do not do much besides lighting up a nice little green picture near the fuel gauge; any suggestions for replacement units (or bulbs?) that would not overload the electrical system and would be useful?

My car has the cigar-lighter with non-illuminated ring in the front console; would a unit with illuminated ring work, and if so, what would be the best way of wiring it so the ring lights up when it should?

Thanks to all of you who will give me some answers

On the fog lights first use the height adjustment to raise them up. Even when up "all the way", they won't shine into oncoming drivers eyes. The adustment is a phillips screw directly below the lamp, accessible through the trap door in the lower splash guard. Next, try changing to 50 watt bulbs. (#885) Only do this if you really need the extra light, because it may warp/melt the lenses. :rolleyes: Some CEG'rs have no problems, but others (myself included) have mentioned lenses bulging etc from the heat.

Thanks!

I'll sure give it a try.
