Dave, was just looking back through this thread. Did you run your trans cooling lines through radiator, then trans cooler? Wondering if this approach will cool as effective as mounting trans cooler in front, using radiator fan.

Thanks, Jim

The light is out of a Toyota camry spoiler. Its a tight fit, so tight I drilled to 1/8 holes in the back to push it out if needed. I put a piece of double sided tape on it before I put it in too...

Edit, the light was givin to me. Thats all I know about it other than the word CORD embossed on one end of it. I would like to find another one...

Its stupid bright! LOL

I found one on ebay 25 bucks. I bought it. It had these stupid tabs on it but I ground them off....

No I didnt.... I just didnt want the extra lines up front. I'm going to monitor the temps, if its on the warm side, will either run another cooler or one bigger one.
