Funny...yesterday I was in a meeting at work, someone said something which I thought was very constructive, so at the end of the meeting I approached the person who had been so constructive, and shook his hand.

When I was departing he said -

"Wait! thanks for appreciating what I thought was constuctive and needed to be said"

I turned to him and said

"no problem."

what was very weird and trendy about what I responded to him was not what I said, but rather whatI did physically when I said this to him.

We both looked at one another in awe as I stood there with my arm in a chicken-wing like fashion, fingers waving and sly grin...a grin I'm sure he will never forget.

something along the lines of this >>>>>>

Ok, I looked and my fogs have brownish-amber H3 bulbs and there is no tube or anything that changes the color. I need to get some yellow H3 bulbs.

Ballpark estimate - $800

I've seen part cars sell as a whole unit for $700 - $1K depending on engine/tranny condition.
