    Lens started to turn yellow after the first year I defluted them and for a quick solution I put a stock set of headlights in. What I am selling is a pair of headlights with the projectors already in them and the hid bulbs. NO BALLAST. I used them to power up some hids in the factory...

    exhaust manifold removal

    Silly question and I expect it to be no but figured it was worth a shot to ask- Is the driver side manifold easier to remove with the trans removed from the car or is it still a P.I.T.A.? No way in hell I am dropping the whole cradle just to remove/replace the manifold.

    Can't win today - TransmissionS

    I was heading to my local pull-n-save this morning when the car kind of shuddered into 3rd and back out. Since I live about 2 blocks from the interstate I didn't think much of it until I got on the highway and there was no third gear. 60 in 2nd gear is no fun, especially for 2 miles. I limped it...

    Here is a picture of my rear spring, I know I will be cutting the coil side that is up but I can't see where cutting 1 coil is going to make that big of a difference - am I wrong? Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot does this picture keep loading on its side?! I give up

    Gen1 projector and hid diy

    I sold my immaculate-beautiful Continental and in turn bought this car, a 93 Mark viii. I was excited to have some horse power push by the rear tires not the front. On my evening ride home with the car I , like most of you at night, could not see a thing! I polished the lens and took the...

    Alarm will not stop going off- cannot turn it off unless i pull fuse 6

    Talk about buyers remorse - I can't seem to get ahead with this car. The other day the battery light came on and I decided I was going to do the 'Big 3' and while I had it a part I had the alt tested and the results came back good, then I had the battery tested and it came back good. I...

    IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK IN A CONTINENTAL! - Steering Wheel Question

    After a streak of about 15 months without my 2000 Continental I knew I made a mistake trading her off. When my 2nd car left me in a bind it wasn't a thought what kind of car I was going to get next, even though Cadillac is my Number 1 car, the N* is the worst engine design I have ever owned and...
