The valve guide just dropped down out of the head. No big deal really, only a day and a half delay.

thought i would give an update. installed truck lite (kuryakyn) phase 7 headlight and spotlights.

results are very good. all my voltage problems are gone. not sure if it was totally the light change or maybe that i cleaned all the connectors, but either way they work great.

light pattern and visibility is outstanding. i am still running them stock so the spotlights go off when the headlight is on high beam, but there really isn't a need for high beam. the phase 7 low beam gives me as much or more light than the Adjure tri bar halogen headlight it replaced. the spot lights do an outstanding job of lighting the sides.

the phase 7 on high beam is like a blow torch! it gives great light for about 250 yards, but will alluminate up to around 400 yards (distance to the tree line behind my house). really impressive.
