Better than a heater core.................

Touche. That it is vinnie. If my replacement heater core blows in the next 4 years(It's been in there 1), my car is going to the junkyard. I'm doing it again, lol.

And I'll tell you what else.... I changed ALL those ridiculous hex head screws to the phillip head screws, the same as hold the dash bezels on. That makes things a whole friggen lot quicker. Next time your at the yard, pull all those phillip screws out of all the bezels on the cars. I've got like a stash of em. And they're all a universal thread so they fit like every  screw in the car lol.

That is actually not a bad idea. I have a parts car, so I think I may have enough normal screws to do that. I figured they wouldn't fit/never really gave it much though. next time it's apart, I'm definitely doing that.

yep,,
did that on the TFI module as well and a couple other areas.

It definitely makes things much less of a hassle;)

...do you have a habit of removing your TFI module all the time? I hear so much about them on here, and problems with them. I've never even touched mine...Hell, I don't even know exactly what it does...:rolleyes:

Well both bulbs were indeed blown. I'm hoping they both naturally wore out at the same time and something wasn't overloaded. We shall see. Thanks guys.

Now to fix the sequentials.

at a certain point i was needing to pull it on the white coug so i made a point to install self tappers.

I had to grind down a socket to get the little hex head ones out...yeah theres a tool for that but I made mine quicker than I could drive out and buy it.

I to mess with things that aint broke so when I dig in and figure out an improvement then I do it.  Normally nothing big or easily seen.

Yea. Installing the universal bulbs was a little "tricky". But my problem turned out to be I needed to ground the unit to each of the two universals. I made a thread about it. If you care to see it, it's here: http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?30687-Sequential-Lights&highlight=
