Hey!! Look at my new mod!
I know 87 and 88 don't have it and my 90 does. Who has an 89 they can check?

Thank you, downloaded & saved. I never realized MadXJ site changed until this thread came up. The site is useless now, so I also deleted it off my favorites.

Sorry cruiser, I was supposed to get it done but I got tied up with other things. I have it about a third of the way finished and stored on my computer. Feel free to speak your mind on the matter, I should have had it done by now. Again, I apologize and I'll get it done as soon as I can. I'll do some more on it right now!

Just an update, I'm almost done with the new write-up. Just have to put some pictures in. Most of the pictures are kinda blurry, so I'll have some fun trying to find decent ones.

I'm not upset at all. Didn't mean to sound that way and was just fooling around. LOL.

90 musta been the year for the change. Your 89 have "flash to pass" headlights like my 90?

Will do. Just gotta do some finishing touches and figure out how I want to post it up here. I'll either attach a word document (since I made it in word) or a pdf file. And I have the flash to pass on my 89. That's when you just tap the high beam once and they blink right? With the headlights off. When my headlights are on, I have to turn the high beams on and then back off. And for the cutoff year for the blinkers, I would like to know that also to put into the write-up. Once I get all the finishing touches and bits of info I need, it'll be up for people to use.

And for a second testimonial, my blinkers did not interact with the side markers before I did the mod. The side markers never blinked, just turned on. The blinkers always blinked by themselves. You think in maybe 90 they started with the alternate blinkers? Do the ones on your 90 blink alternate?

There's the answer. Alternating blinkers started in 1990. Flash to pass started in 1989.

I can confirm that the sidemarkers in my 1990 do alternate with the turn signals
