Sourmug's Decklid Vent Build ** 56K Warning!!** (Page 24/69)

So my next modification has arrived:




These are a set of Norm's recessed lights that I purchased from Low_Key. My wife isn't sure that she likes these lights, she much prefers the stock pop ups. Fierosound doesn't like them either. I don't know. I think the stock lights are too high when they are up and I have not seen a set of slim pop ups that I like.

What do you think? I'd like to hear some peoples thoughts and experiences with these.

Thanks
Nolan

Considering that I'm a flushmount headlight owner, I say they look great.

Blacktree:

Have you had any issues or concerns? How well do the lights illuminate the road? What about cleaning under the lens?

Timo:

I had forgotten about his modification. It doesn't look too bad, I'll have to think about it.

Thanks
Nolan

PS: My wife thinks this is a Fiero's impersonation of Darth Vader

First of all, I should mention that my headlights are from Kris Munson, and use Camaro bulbs. I believe Norm's are different. So my impressions of light output and beam pattern probably don't apply to your setup. But that said, I'm willing to bet that you'd be better off with a set of fog/driving lights to augment the low-beams.

Every so often, I have to pop the hood and clean out the dust under the lenses. For me, that task is fairly easy because my headlight bulbs are mounted to the frame rather than the hood. Although, getting the hood and lights to match up can be a pain.

Hope that helps. And keep up the good work!

Well, I have started to tear apart the interior. I must admit that this is the modification that has me the most worried. I am not by any stretch an electrical person. I can wire a house and a garage but this will be a little more complex I am sure. I was going to wait until the car was running before I started this but I don't know when that will be. The funds are a little short as I am trying to keep this on my monthly budget so I thought that I might as well get started on this as I already have the Stealth dash.

I know that I am going to need help with this so I hope you guys are up to the task!

So I have started the demolition of the interior:


The car currently has an aftermarket alarm system that was installed by the previous owner. I think it's an el cheapo model so I am going to remove it and restore the wiring to stock condition. As you can see in the next picture there are a couple of "kill" switches that were mounted to the underside of the cluster housing. I don't think these really did anything anyways:

Here's the shot with the cluster removed:

And the dash removed:


I was quite amazed just how little hardware actually holds the dash in place.

That's it for tonight. Well it's has begun...
