Carpet Fit and Quality

I am wondering if anyone has info or feedback (good or bad) on the moulded carpets available from different manufacturers?
I am especially looking for ones to avoid. Thanks!

Re: headlight on hi all the time

Unplug dimmer switch.( 3 wire connector) What happens? Lights should go out all together. jumper wire from powered wire to one then the other. What happens? One should be low beam, the other should be high beam. :chevy:
