Headlight Bulbs, Winsheild Wipers, and Speakers
I have a few questions about my Avenger.
1. Is it safe to put those 80w xenon bulbs into it? The stock ones are not bright enough for me.
2. What size are the door speakers? I have a pair of 6 1/2's and I ust blew one of the OEM Infinitiy speakers. Chrutchfeld says that the 6 1/2s will fit but I need an adaptor. Is this true?
3. One of my winsheild wipers is too low when in the down/off position. By low I mean my passenger side wiper tip is literaly resting on my fender. The blade retracts about 2 inches after my winsheild ends. Its the right size wiper and the arm is not bent. Is there an easy way to fix this? I already tried to take the bolt off of the base to adjust it, with no luck, it would not budge. Is there an easy way to fix this?
Thanks in advance

2. 6.5s will work, some will need an adapter, some won't. I hope you don't have a deep magnet basket on your new speakers.
3. Your passenger side wiper needs to be put onto your driver's side arm...unless both sides are the same size (passenger side should be shorter, btw).
..and welcome to DF.

The passenger side wiper is smaller. It stops about 2 inches lower than the edge of my windsheild My drivers side wiper stops at the edge of my windsheild. It would be fine if it didnt gor donw that far.

Ah, I see. You might need to use a two arm gear puller to remove the arm. Spray some lubricant after you remove the nut and let it sit for a bit. You most likely will have to pull very hard to get the two non-similar metals to break free from each other though. The arm must have been removed and set wrong by the previous owner.
