Reading that Fram air filter thread reminded me I'm due for an air filter replacement. To get oiled or dry, decisions, decisions.

Everyone's gotta have their shtick. You should make a teaser video and upload it to YouTube. Might get a few phone numbers in the comments

Are you SURE that car didn't have a muffler leak back there ......

I believe, starting in 1957, some American high end (Cadillac, Chrysler) cars had separate high and low beam headlights (two lights on each side).

I believe my 1979 Lincoln Mark V was that way.

Yeah, Pilot has separate lamps for high and low beam. Sorry, my question was unclear. I do not believe they are interchangeable. I think the low-beam lamps have cutoffs built inside. Am I correct?

[bcj]

Yes. Different beam pattern molded in the face and filament positioning.
