      Looks good now that you have complete bumper on it. Are you going to install lights to fill in those holes?

          I have some ideas but haven't executed yet. Volkswagen bulbs fit pretty good but I'm worried about heat.

            How hot do they actually get? They look great

            If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

              I'm not sure, didn't get to run them. But I would have to modify the valence some more to fit these bulbs.

                  Yeah that's what I was looking for. I didn't buy these bulbs just had it sitting around so threw it in to see what it looks like.

                    I wonder how difficult it would be to wire a relay through the neutral switch so the lights can't be on when in park or neutral (at least on an automatic)... That way the lights won't over heat when left on and not moving to cool them off.

                      The ford ranger fog bulbs 893?890?997? i think are a 35 watt. GM has one that fits and its 50-55 watt. I use those in my Dodge srt-4 with upgraded harness and no melting on the oem plastics. Yes i went to school and took English Comp LOL. Yes the ranger and dodge neon fog bulbs are the same.

                      I would just add a relay. What i did on my car for a while was flip the headlight and fog wires @ fuse box to run the fogs as driving lights when it's dusk but that got old and I think i get better mileage in my head running just one set of lights. My vacuum at idle is actually different, less load on the alternator.

                          Sonic received a full heart transplant. Here's the kicker's went to start clogged injectors, went to start again fires up starts puking oil (front crank seal, start it again just chugs (dizzy rotor button broke off). So finally after a long day started at 10:30 a.m. Drove it home around 2:30 a.m. She's home safe and sound. Eurotiva has more pics.

                              On my '96 Saturn 5-speed the running lights turned off when the ebrake was up... same principle but works on a stickshift. Cause it would get a little crazy in a stickshift if they blinked everytime you hit neutral between shifts! Lol
