Bulbs, Vinyl Decals and Pinstripping.
A couple months ago I had bought Tee some Sylvania Silver Star Headlight bulbs for Chance as the headlight lenses were NOT in the best of shape, even after polishing them up, so thought the new bulbs would be much brighter and give enough light through the lenses. Anyhow for some CRAZY reason ONE bulb was way brighter than the other and extremely hard to turn tight when installed into the headlight socket; so I put the stock ones back in. While at Auto Zone this morning talking to the mgr was telling him about it... he said... just bring 'em back.... but I had lost the receipt. He said NO problem, I'll take care of you so we started off the day taking CHANCE to Auto Zone. Great, the new bulbs went in and tighted up nice and NOW both have the same amount of light. He said must just have been a bad batch. Then we came home and I put NEW Philips BL 9006 into my car BLUE. These lights say they are supposed to be blue but look white to me; guess we'll tell when Tee and I follow each other. BUT ~ WOW, way brighter than stock.
While I was installing the headlights and putting some vinyl decals on BLUE, Tee was re~pin striping Chance. This time she chanced 'em up a little and made them solid without the space between. She got ONE side done and then it was getting to dark out.
So..... THAT WAS OUR DAY.............
A few pictures...
This is the lights I put in BLUE
Then I added some vinyl decals to the side and rear windows of BLUE
This is Tee replacing with NEW pin stripping...
~ ONE side DONE
