Putting this date and a note in my calendar as Larry admitted to being
confused.  NEVER seen that before.  

Am I the only one amazed here?

(Love ya, Larry, and glad your on the list, just giving you a hard
time....  ;-)

This puzzles me.....

  When I put H4's in my Chevy van, many years ago, I just plugged them
right 
in.  Ditto with my Toyota Corona back in 1970.  I recently put a set of 
Hella H4's in my Corvette as well....same thing; plug and play.

The 'Roc takes (took)  American-style replacement 4x6 units. Yet, when I
put H4's in the 'Roc, it required switching the leads 
around......
 I am so confused.....

Who has an explanation??
