I like the LED headlights. Where did you find them, and how much are they?

eBay. 8-900

Agreed. Any comments on quality (fit, appearance, functionality)?

I don't like the led next to the projector. They fit well. There is a lengthy thread about them currently on 6speedonline.

Great thread..from hopeless to fully recovered, and improved... Brought a tear to my eye

Mine sits between the 8 & 0 closer to the 0 until I get in traffic, then it creeps to just off the right of 0, when the high speed fans kick on. Then it slowly will go back to around the middle of the 0 and settle there until things open up and we get some airflow.
Make sure that both fans work on high and low speed, Ballast resister may be out?
Did you ever change the water pump? The intermix might have caused some deterioration of the plastic impellers. Impeller breakup is not uncommon.

That's exactly how mine acts. That makes me feel a lot safer lol. I've been very nervous about it heating up to much after all that I have research I have done on the car. It hasn't passed the 0 yet. I replaced about everything on this engine and car itself so I know with out a worry about it. I have just read that people seem to see it stay right at the 180 mark. I do feel that the resistors need replaced bc when I kick the a/c on the high speeds come on but the low speeds or high speeds will come on without the a/c on. Also the engine compartment fan will not kick on either. I just put all new relays in also.

^^ my car acts exactly the same as franks and yours. Totally normal. The engine compartment fan does not kick on very often. IIRC the engine compartment itself has to reach 176F or the coolant temp needs to reach 216F for the engine compartment fan to kick on.
