Grabbed 4. Gold 6077 air filters are $5.75. Only bought one of those. I don't think there is a sale at privately owned stores and not even sure if it is all corporate stores nationwide.
There was a sale like that last year at the Napa in my area. They advertised that the doors opened at 8am.

I got there at 7:30. There was already a line snaking through the store and going out the front door.

I turned around and left.

They opened at 8 AM. I got there at about 8:15 and was out the door with my haul by 8:25.

Anyone want to take a guess as to why they still don't do that? Openings still in the box and in the header panel although it's got plastic piece covering it.
I believe it's to minimize the amount of water and/or dust that gets into the filter by having it ducted right through to the front.

All of mine on my '99 XJ are backlit green like the gauge cluster lights. It would be a total PITA in that thing at night without them, since the overhead interior light doesn't have a "manual" operation switch on it.

Not "today" really, but recently. The local swap meet has a booth that makes stickers. They have pre-made designs or you can get custom words printed. This is what I have so far.

On my 99 turning the headlight switch or pushing up on the overhead light will make the lights come on. Mine is limited but the sports I have had in the past were the same.
My window switches also have a green back light.
