April 22, 2008: Installed new Hood Vents (discussed earlier on page 1), finally did the front blinker mod, replaced window regulator, built removable door hinges, installed driver's side front shock bumpstop, and repaired damaged front E-Locker controllerHey, I am all about progress

As discussed on page one, I installed nifty aluminum high flow low amp home entertainment fans to pull air out of the engine bay. Here is another shot of the two fans installed. I was going to run 4 fans, but the 2 do so well I think they are all I need:

Here I am getting started with the blinker mod:

Here is the single filament harness on the stock 1st gen front parking lights

1st cut the green wire

Then push the harness through the bulb socket and out the front. Once out it will look like this:

As you can see the front corner light harness is on the left, and I got a 1st gen brake light harness on the right
Here is a front view showing the two circuits of the brake light harness

Here are the size comparisons of the two bulbs

The brake bulb is obviously much larger, but it still clears my lens just fine. So far it has not melted anything, but only time will tell. I also have some blue (clear white) brake bulbs that I bought but have not installed yet. So for now I am using the ugly yellow-ish bulbs that don't look too good along side my Silverstar headlights. I'll get the other blue bulbs installed some other day

A slight modification is required to get the brake bulb to fit properly into the single filament housing:

Here it is installed into the 1st gen parking light housing

And here is the differences in filament circuits:
