You could also just pop your clock out & check the old light & see if you can tell ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Allen Defective headlight ?!?! Man , you're not having a good time lately at all , are you  .

[b]Defective headlight ?!?! Man , you're not having a good time lately at all , are you .[/b] Good call on the clock, I'll have to check that out if I can tell.. As for the headlight, both of them were replaced since they were so screwed up from that crap, but they didn't even bother aligning them.. The first night I drove with them, the lights were all over the place.. I finally figured out how to aim them, and got them horizontally aimed, and got the right one setup vertically right, but the vertical aim screw for the left one just turns and does nothing. The level is even messed up looking, and the light points straight down. Kinda dangerous, but since I won't be driving this week, it's not a problem really. Hopefully the dealership that did the work has another light in stock or can fix it somehow.

I think my g/f and I are going as well. I remember Zinn's diner isn't too far from me in NJ, so, it should be a realtively short ride. Plus, I can show off my almost completed and newly updated stereo stuff.

Cartman, it's definitely the bulb. Mine did exactly the same thing many moons ago - so long ago that it was a warranty fix in my case. I think there might be something in the FAQ on the main page.

Both my vehicles are acting like ass right about now, so I'll have to wait and see.

I think visiting with the Focus group would be pretty cool. Imagine the Carlisle locals reactions to seeing all those Fords zipping around town. Probably just as good (if not better) than witnessing the reaction to a large scale high speed Contique caravan down the PA Turnpike. I'll volunteer to lead the caravan (if we have one). Lots of experience dodging the PA Smokies (V1 doesn't hurt any either). I'll try not to lose you guys.  Just watch out for K-Band! That's what they use 99.9% of the time. They like to set the radar emitting signage loose on K-Band to fake out people like me. I posted over to focaljet and let them know we may be interested in stopping by (interest check pending here). Their shindig is at a joint with go karts, mini golf, laser tag, and batting cages. Sounds like a blast to me. Focaljet Mid-Atlantic meet thread
