I have a question for you. What hid kit did you get? The one from ddm tuning? or hid extra? And it looks like you have sealed beams on your blaze Thog? Or is it just the angle I am looking at? I can't make up my mind whether to go with hid's or a bulb replacement. I would rather go with a bulb replacement with a "whiter" light because I don't want to **** people off driving on the other side of the road.

I got DDM's 55w h4 kit, and yes I had sealed beams, but I got an E-code housing upgrade off of ebay with h4 bulbs in them.
Mine don't have a lot of glare now that I covered a hole in the reflector, but your beam pattern will be different than mine because your housings and bulbs will be different.

I found out why I'm having problems with my starter. Turns out the whole back end of the solenoid has about 1/8in of play. Looks like I'll be needing a new one one of these days.

I also bought a pair of projector fog lights off of Ebay. I may be sending them back, the reflector bowls look like they were painted by a 5 year old, and the cutoff shield is wavy and doesn't cover enough area.

I might just repaint the bowls and fix the shield myself. I don't know, we'll see.

So I found these things that make a running light a blinker. I may get a pair for the light bar leds so that they will blink with the blinkers and be on with the parking lights.

On a side note, I decided to count all of the leds in my blazer. Any guesses as to how many individual leds are on my blazer?

Well I fix one problem (or order the parts to do so) and a new problem pops up. Now the starter solenoid is shot. I could get it to start before, but now I can't get it to turn over. Looks like it's time to get a new one.

Well I got some news.
The good:

New starter.

The bad:

The stupid POS won't turn over now. I thought it was the ign switch wire, so I put a jumper wire in and ^that is the result.

I don't know if it would be the neutral safety switch, or if the engine is just frozen. Help...
