    Thanks for posting about the GE Nighthawks, IMO Stern's word is golden.

    +1 for the GE Nighthawks.

    Philips XTremeVision are good too.

    To improve visibility, go for a +90% or higher bulb with an unfiltered glass envelope. ie no blue filter which actually cuts some lumens output/lux. Both the Nighthawks and the XtremeVision have unfiltered envelopes.

    How does one go about obtaining said BH1976 relay kit?


    Didn't find in member list.

    And he hasn't posted in a long time. You can also try GoldPanther on CVN or CVNw. He makes harnesses and his quality is superb.

    MyBlackBeasts- Sorry, got my Panther sites mixed up.

    Gee, I haven't hit Crownvic.net for ages, did they get things fixed?

    Yes, almost 4 months to the day after they broke it. Seems to be fine now.
