Default Help with mach

Hey guys. I just got the mach home a little over a week ago. Am now having issues with several things.
FIRST, the fog lights aren't working...I dont have a manual so do not know what fuses go to what...they were working fine yesterday.
AND, hubby took a look underneath the car a couple days ago, he says the driveshaft is really rusted and that there are white numbers written on the rear end. Does that mean the rear end has been replaced? And what about the rust? Should I just get an aluminum DS to replace the stock one?

I would get an aluminum DS anyways simply because I've heard they are nothing but badass!

meh, it would take a while to rust throuh the DS, but if it makes you more comfortable you can replace it.

what rpm are you at running 70-mph

If it's 2,000 rpm like right on the nail than you have stock gears. I'm right on 2,000 when going 70.

The white numbersare normal my car has them and so does my friend. Same with the rust. It is only surface rust.It also depends were you live for example if live on the coast(humidity, salt water) your are going to have rust problem a lot sooner than if you live in the desert (dry conditions,no humidity).

Aluminum DS is a good upgrade.
