i dont know if they are the oem headlights these days or if they are the after market upgraded lights but they are really bright! a guy i worked with showed me how he modified high beam headlamp bases to fit in the low beam light sockets on his 300-xz. its very easy to do. he doesnt care about blinding oncoming traffic. i constantly reminded him that he is a jackass. .

sorry for the ot post but figured this group if any might have the answers. am looking for a portable standby generator about 5kw. can anyone here recommend a specific **brand** or maybe suggest a specific brand to **avoid** living down in hurricane country texas gulf coa= st and so far in 18 years have never needed one. figure im pushing my luck and am thinking about one in the 5kw size range enuf to run fridge & d= eep freeze a few small wattage flourescent replacement lamps + tv and satellite rcvr prolly a fan or two. realize i cannot afford something = the size that would pull our central ac. also what about fuels gasoline would ordinarily seem easiest to obtain and therefore most logical but what about natural gas not propane w/gasoline youd be constantly running out to purchase more else stick a georgia credit card in your vehicle tank. 5kw genset consumes between= =bd gal and 1 gal gasoline per hour depending on load. how much line press= ure would it take for a ng powered genset im leaning toward gasoline but thought id ask. locally available brands & engines onan cummins troy-built briggs & stratton coleman honda honda honda ------------------------------------------------------------- im on the florida gulf coast -- bought a devilbiss genset just after opal in 95 and finally used it after ivan this past year. it was the brand that lowes was selling at the time but i expect that it or similar is probably on the market with other badges as well. its a gas unit -- 10hp briggs engine that puts out 5.5kw -- probably in the 7.5 yo 8.5 kw peak range. its got a big gas tank that will let it run continuously for 10 - 12 hours. when you stop it to add gas it will almost always need some less than a half quart oil. i ran the thing non-stop 24hrs per day for 5 days and powered nearly everything in the house two different legs. the only things i didnt run were washer/dryer and central air. it happily powered the fridge and freezer as well as all of the lights and ceiling fans. i had pulled the main breakers so as not to fry the local lineman and a neighbor had to come over and tell me when the power was back on. im a happy camper -- but its time to go check the thing and make sure its ready to run if needed. mark .
