Check you throttle cable tension, it will slip over time. Should only have about half an inch of slack before the arm starts to actuate. Readjust as needed if your idle gets too high as a result (aka, check what's nominal before you change anything).

Easy DIY's for the bugeye

- If you don't like the orange side markers you can always easily pop them out and color match them to your car

- Yellow tinting your fog lights with a sheet of yellow vinyl, or you can buy Krylon stained glass paint and paint them.

- Paint matching your side skirts with your car color

That's all I can think of right now ._.

So the way I read that, it is technically illegal to drive with them on with your headlights off. That would be the reason why they are wired to work in conjunction with the headlights in the first place.

Replace old suspension bushings. Cheap if you can do the labor yourself.
