JP3 -
Glad you made it alright! That pic in the snow is awesome!!! Also glad to see that big smile in your daughter's face!!! Enjoy!!!
As explained in a private email, I'm not sure what happened with the headlights, but I'm glad it was just the fuses. The bulbs are not HID. I just replaced the original bulbs with Hellas with the more powerful high beams. However, the headlight issue never happened to me before (It could be because I never drove the VX more than 40 miles at a time - and usually during daytime!!!). You can either use a higher amp fuse (15-20 amp instead of 10 amp), or go back to the original headlight bulbs (I put the original bulbs in one of the boxes with spare parts - inside the Hella boxes).
In reference to "vt_maverick"'s comment "I'm a little concerned that it was no coincidence the previous owner had the correct fuses already close at hand." It was indeed a coincidence. In fact, those fuses were in the glove compartment when I bought the Vehicross. When cleaning up the vehicle for JP3 and removing personal items, I decided to put them in the arm rest console. In fact, there were 2-3 fuses in there. I put a couple in the fuse box by the driver's door side (I realized that the fuse box was missing two spare fuses - there are like 3 slots for spare fuses in there).
Welcome to the VX family and let the fun begin!!
