Anyone else? Clive are you gonna stop by? Of those who are installing their lights this weekend. I will stop by radio shack or some other place to buy some of the ancilliary pieces we need for the install (female spade connector, electrical tape, etc.). Let me know if you all need the heavy duty velcro for the install or if you have or will pick up your own. I will bring my own, very limited set of tools as I suggest each brings the minimum so that if we want, we could all do together. CHUCK: do you have the 1" drill bit that is to be required for the install???
Any tips from those who have done the install of other items I (we) should pick up and be sure to have at the install?
Chuck, thanks again for volunteering your house. Look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday at around 11:00 a.m. Let me know again about the velcro.

I just got my hid kit today! I have a corded drill, 1" drill bit, a couple wire strippers, a crimping tool, a few extra spade connectors and a bunch of electrical tape I'll bring these for general use. I couldn't find my soldering iron but it doesn't sound like it will be needed. If there are any other tools or supplies needed let me know. I may stop by Automation in Van Nuys on the way to see if they have any Sylvania Silver Star high beam replacement bulbs to upgrade the high beams as well if any of you are interested leave a reply on this thread and I will see about picking them up.

Say, what tools do we need. I will bring as many as I have but would like to know what is necessary.

Good luck, guys.
If anyone wants to take some more pictures of the install, us out-of-staters would certainly appreciate it.
I will grab some spade connectors and Silverstars for my own install.

It seems that there is no clear cut choice for imporved performance high beams and quite a few who feel that HID lows are better than any halogen highs so unless I hear otherwise I guess we'll just stick to the HID lows. mnnmblu I did see your message above.
