Does anyone know a way to install a toggle that would allow one head light to be turned off while driving at nite. Would be a nice way of giving a blink to other Z drivers when they are in oncoming traffic. Just a thought

simply splice into the headlight harness on whichever side you'd like, figure out a way to run a break in that circuit, wire a switch to it, tadaa. basically, the switch being toggled on will leave it a complete circuit on taht side, turn the switch off, break the circuit, headlight turns off.

JLS2GOZ,

I believe that you will need to post some pics of yourself after the disclosure of your status.

Forum Rules ....sorry !

Lol I just love reading how all of these things unfold.

Zrzly is correct, everyone on here is pretty mechanically inclined so you would with out a doubt be able to find someone to help you. Pay for their lunch or offer a beer and you will get on everyone's good side lol. Let me know if you need any more help though, I am happy to help.

I really enjoy reading and seeing all the different things posters do to their Zs, it shows so much diversity. But sometimes all of the flaming gets to be a bit much... to each his own... Im totally in with buying a case of beer or ordering in food for some help. I just dont get some of the nit picking ? I thought thats what this forum was supposed to be about?

Well you can't have everyone get together and share their ideas without some conflict. I understand where your coming from though. Stick to the Texas section of the forums and you should be able to stay away from all of that, we are pretty mild mannered here.

JLS that picture looks like it's from the 1980s for some odd reason. And I wouldn't do that just so you can "blink" at other Z drivers, cause in all seriousness, they can careless if you wave, wink, flash, or high beam them. I have tried waving once or twice and I don't do it anymore because they aren't car enthusiast.

^^^ not necessarily so...After picking up my girls daughter from BB practice last night I had to get gas. Some OLD ( and I mean OLD - gray hair, barely moving, the works) guy rolls up in a 06 VERT Z giving me a thumbs up as I did his ride. I only wave if they look - if they dont - I dont do nothin...

JLS2GOZ - wish I could help.. I like working for beer...its my favorite..




MORNING DFW!

Jake works great when the beer to work ratio is even :P

Anyways, welcome to the forums

Like they said, stick to the Texas section and you will be fine... but if you do go to the off to the other sections, beware they are not as nice lol
