That reminds me that my left light is busted. A previous accident has damaged the mounting so the light cannot be adjusted in aim. The case is fine, but the adjustment screws turn freely, doesn't catch on anything. So, how much trouble is it to replace the whole assembly? I guess the part is like $100+ from local dealer? Interesting observation... On the original light (left side), the adjustment screws have Torx heads. The replacement light has regular Philips heads. Weird... Just a plain jane '96 LX V-6 here...

Agreed.. use Bill Jenkins, or his upcoming replacement. Ray '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.
