eh they are already shipped haha. i get home before she does... she may not even notice when i put the new ones in lol.


i used her paypal account, but then transfered funds from my account to her account, and then got in her email and deleted the confirmation emails and such.

she probably won't even know haha.

Let us know how you like them, I might go for them or spring for these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1983...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item53deeab3c5 sorta torn between the two. I am thinking for the price the hids may be poor quality but at the same time for $100 should I do it

I was under the impression he paid with money from her checking or savings account then transfered money from his checking or savings account to hers not paid with funds that showed up in her pay pal account because if he had a pay pal account so that he could replenish her pay pal account he probally would have paid from his own. If what I am thinking is right it will show up in her monthly statement from her bank.

i'll just tell her i had to use her card to get gas to go pick up my paycheck.

she'll believe it.

 

[pangborn83]

Thats cool, just wantedyou to know there may be questions if it camefrom her bank. I am pretty good about covering up anything I dont want the wife to know about LOL. She usually dont care but I know how to if need be.

 

[Mtrhd0024]

LOL!

I love how this turned from a "lighting" thread, to a "how to cover yer tracks and order stuff yer woman don't find out" thread :L haha!

Maybe we should start a new thread? This could be a very useful topic to some people! hahaha!

Does anyone know if the gen 2 bulbs will fit in these housings? I have an 88 BII and I have replaced the complete wiring harness with one from a 94 explorer, looking for a way to hook up my headlights like they are in the explorer.
Thanks,
Louis

Nope, I don't believe they will. The Explorer uses 9006 or 9007 bulbs. (same socket, the plug is just wired differently depending on the bulb) At least in the picture, those housings look like they use H4 bulbs which are completely different.

Just go to your nearest advanced auto/autozone/napa, and pick yourself up an H4 plug. Cut the old plug off and splice the H4 plug in (just check the wiring colors and make sure you get the high/low wires in the correct place) and then you'd be set to use those housings. Shouldn't be a big deal if you just replaced the whole wiring harness in your 88!

Thanks, I have the old harness to get the plugs from, Just hate cutting the new harness

haha yea, just cut, solder, heatshrink, and then wrap it in split loom. thats the way I do my splicing, and you can't tell the difference between it and the factory wiring!
