no idea, i don't believe they are the standard aftermarket white faced you can buy. Whomever had the car before i did put them in. It was the only thing he/she did and still ****ed it up. it was a pain to fix too

They didn't wire it properly, so when I pulled the lever for headlights nothing lit up on the gauges. It still doesn't work how it was intended, but I came up with a great, and easy solution a while back. I mounted another smaller lever, nearly identical to the main one just alot smaller, directly underneath the main one.
So, I have to pull the main lever for headlights to come on and the smaller one for the guages to light up. I'm happy with my solution b/c it looks custom and great, especiallly for doing it myself. and it was about $5 at radio shack for the switch. I did post a picture about a year ago, but i can't find it now, i'll post what it looks like when i get home.
Well, actually i changed the fuel filter and put a CAI in very recently. So both of those are fine. I was thinking more along the lines of coils, wires, distributor cap, etc?? any of those really necessary?? I'm at 75K miles

I shouldn't be helping a jackass (see sig) anyways, but I'm a nice guy.
