I only notice this with my vent/heater... each setting is worth about 3 degrees of oil temp... with the blower on high the temp goes up by 12 degrees. Immediately after I turn it off it goes back down. My headlights don't do this, but maybe that's cuz I have em hooked up with relays... 55/60W H4's and 100W H1's, btw. -- John Caldwell [email protected] _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
