That's great but here in the US those seats are stolen all the time and then resold to people that don't care where they came from.

Just a lil drop, but it looks much better IMO. The second pic is kinda decieving, as the shawom of the fenderwells make it look higher than it is. There's about a 1 finger gap between fender/tire.

Gotta do something about those cheap homemade brackets, but for now they'll be fine.

TECHNIALLY, yes. You aren't suppose to have them mounted on their side/vertically. Nice and flat is how the heat sinks are designed to work.

BUT, chances are he's not running a huge amp that makes alot of heat so it's ok. I have a 1000 watt amp mounted behind the passenger seat of my sol where it gets ZERO air flow and the seat is pressed up against it: it doesn't really get hot.

Exactly. You're "not supposed to" but I have no problem with it. It barely generates any heat at all. It's a "1000W" sony amp, more like 265W RMS.

Hey Del Sol'ers, I just picked up a Del Sol tonight and my front auxilery light is broken (that little round light next to the headlight? I think it's refered to as a "auxilery light". I think that's what you called it?

How do I remove this auxilery light? I'm assuming i'll need to pick up this part from Honda? Do I need to take off the bumper?
I haven't even been out there to look at it, and it's dark so I figured i'd get a head start by askin you guys.

THanks a lot!

Bolts along the top of the bumper under the edge of the hood, bolts underneath the car, and bolts on the ends of the bumper in the fenders. Once you remove those and take the bumper off, the aux light is on a metal bracket that is held on by a few bolts. I don't remember exactly how many bolts but it's extremely easy to figure out if you just look at it.
