I don't remember having any problems with the headlights Mark. I may have, I think I used a Torx... not a phillips. That was a while ago.. clear corners!!! Please tell me you did!!

btw... Be really careful today. There are a TON of cops. They're being VERY aggressive. Standing out in the road. Pointing cars down. I was in the fast lane and a cop actually ran in front of me into the road, maybe a 1/4 mile down clocking people who tried to slow down real quick and cut over into the slow lane.

I really don't understand the logic of people speeding to 80, slamming on their brakes to 60mph when they see a cop. Rinse. Repeat. I had my cruise set on 70mph. I stayed with the idiots the whole way from Columbus to Dayton. They'd speed up away from me, and I'd end up having to slow down everytime they saw a cop. Geez.... There were also a few accidents. I don't see HOW in the world. Perfectly dry, clear, light traffic... I dunno man.

Yeah, you used a Torx - I fixed my post. Tamper proof Torx.

On the other hand I now have a Craftsmen Tamper Proof Bit Set Screwdriver.

I wonder, why do they continue to use something that's supposedly "tamper proof" when anybody can buy the tools to tamper with it? Seems kinda silly to me...

Oh, i've never encounter tamper proof screws on headlights before. Yours is the first i've heard of it.

I only have two rings/headlight. Yeah those m'fers break easy, if you aren't paying attention to everything you are doing when working with them you will break one. I broke one when I was doing my original install, so I ordered 3 more so I would have 2 backups. By the time I got the lights together I had no backups.

Did anyone make it out for Monday night billiards?

I am still in Post CougarFest Depression, and trying to get all the crap done that didn't get done because of car modding and preparing for 'Fest. Like...

I forgot to pay some bills last week

so I did that last night, and Kristina and I went over more of the wedding stuff. I've got something work related or wedding related going on every night this week, and I need to do laundry too. ::sigh:: And my replacement Angel Eye tubes arrived while I was at 'Fest and I want to put them in and finish that install so I can show off those to my family this weekend, 'cause I've got a family b-day party on Saturday.

well i'm REALLY bored at work, so i read through this whole thread cuz i haven't really kept up on it. i've got a question for all u computer guys. i'm in engineering and use my computer pretty much all day every day. right now i'm running on a dell inspiron 5150 laptop cuz i ofter take my computer out of the office. the picture on the laptop isn't bad, but i got the tiny 15" monitor. i've kinda been looking around at getting a bigger flat panel monitor and have a dual monitor set-up, with the big monitor for my drawing and engineering and the smaller monitor for spread-sheets, e-mails, and other reading/text functions. i'm not too computer savy and don't know what a lot of the technical terms in the monitor descriptions mean. what would be a good monitor to buy for my application? i'd like it to be fairly big, 19"+, relatively cheap, fairly high resolution, sharp and crisp picture, and good color contrast. like i said i'm not too knowledgabe when it comes to computers and monitors, so any help would be appreciated.

You want to hook that up to your laptop?

What resolution will the video card in your laptop support up to?

CincyZetec · 07-20-2007, 12:04 PM

in my display properties, the best resolution i can set my laptop monitor at is 1400x1050 and 1600x1200 on a 2nd monitor.

Sounds like a Dell UltraSharp 2007FP. 20" flat panel LCD with native resolution of 1600x1200. It's $449, so maybe Wade can recommend something a little less expensive, but I loves my UltraSharp

wadespencer99 · 07-20-2007, 12:15 PM

That would be a great monitor, but yeah...that's a little up there considering the 22" widescreen is under $300.00.

I'd imagine any 20" monitor would display that resolution then, right?
