    Thanks for the warning and I'll make sure to double-check the high side with my multimeter when I'm running the wiring for the extra features on the new headlights. But as my horn isn't working at the moment (haven't had time to take the E21 wheel she came with off and make the adjustments I've read about elsewhere in the forums) and I'm making very.... creative use of the high beam dipper switch on the left stalk to compensate (as best I can, at any rate), you could say I check that very regularly. Chicago drivers are rather awful. Also, my garage door is manual, so pull out, close, walk back while gazing at that pretty front end. No glow in the highs (and I tend to drive with my lights on out of habit), but again, I'll check it to make sure and report back. The wiring makes the Italian part of my heritage shudder every time I look at how hacked up some of it is, so I'm not making assumptions in either direction without actually checking.

    I know y'all weren't asking me, but I threw some LED units in my '75 a few weeks ago to replace some seriously dim lights. They turned out to be crusty old H4 adapter sets, one with a boot that had been missing for quite a while and due to the resultant rust on the reflector was making about enough light to read a map by, so not nearly enough to drive on. Being a night owl do a lot of driving after dark, and they've both been working great since with minimal adjustment and no wiring issues like OldRoller had. Mine also have halo rings like OldRoller's, but I haven't had the time (or weather) to wire them in yet, so they're currently inactive, much to my annoyance. I'll get pictures when I have that done. I'm disabled and tend to have really low energy, so it may be a bit.

    I've already been finding some older bulb sizes costing a lot more in incandescent than LED replacements. 20+ a pair when the LED units are like nine or twelve for three to five in much better quality? Kind of hard to say no unless you're really stubborn about the originality aspect. And that owner's choice bit. I really wish more people would remember that and keep their rude comments to themselves. There's enough negativity in the world without adding more for silly reasons.
