Winner of the 2016 Fauset Book Award in the Category of First Fiction

Set in Arkansas in 1957, the complexities of identity, yearnings for love and acceptance, and racial tension are all unmasked in the riveting literary drama, Melting the Blues, by debut author Tracy Chiles McGhee. Augustus Lee Rivers, a farmer and bluesman, has two obsessions: his relationship with the Duncan family and his desire to leave small town Chinaberry to become a musician in Chicago. When his plans are prevented by a devastating betrayal, Augustus is driven into the belly of the blues where he must reckon with his past if he is to move forward. This intriguing, multi-layered historical tale beckons readers down a red dirt country road to bear witness to an unforgettable time, place, and people.

These are quality bulbs and more reliable than halogen
Size: H7
Car that I drive is a 2008 Mazda 3 4Dr Sedan Automatic i Touring. Got so tired and fed up with felt like spending money every month or so on halogen bulbs. It was always the same old story, trip to auto zone to avoid a fix it ticket. I almost tried to buy the Sylvania brand on Amazon for cheaper but what's the use? Its STILL the SAME product. I'm done with those and never going back. The new Territory Has snapped right in without any special add on adapters, just plug and play deal. Way brighter and super easy. Love them. Can see way better at night and not have to worry about them burning out so quickly anymore. More than I can say about the Sylvania brand "Made in Germany". They're slippin

I’m really happy with these lights! They were easy to set up, work perfectly, and give off a beautiful glow. The brightness is just right for creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere without being too harsh. The quality feels great for the price, and they instantly made my space look more modern and inviting. I also appreciated how well they were packaged and how quickly they arrived. Definitely worth the purchase, and I would absolutely buy them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for stylish and reliable lights!

Termitor H11 are so worth it
Size: H11+9005
LED Lights are as described. They fit perfect in the low beams and high beam spots. LEDs are super bright and work great at night! Soo much better than the old fluorescent bulbs that came with my rig.

Keeping track of longevity. Had these bulbs for a month and will try and update if they fail. Unfortunately a while ago I hit a cow, seemed to just pop up out of nowhere, the truck was rebuilt and I wanted more/better road lighting. I am using these in a Mack truck for work so they are getting used. I run at least 10 hours a day, 5+ days a week and have at least 11k miles on them since installed. Install is just like a standard bulb no special steps needed. Produce a lot of light and good patterns on high and low beam. So far I really have only had one issue with the bulbs and that is the daylight running light/DRL operation, they don't work I believe the Mack drops the voltage to slightly dim the lights when running in DRL operation and this causes the bulbs to just intermittently flash so I just run with them on all the time. This I don't believe is the bulbs fault and is more an analog vs digital issue. Therefore I'm testing the longevity of the bulbs if my truck is running they are on. Will see how they do as the days get hotter as they are in a small sealed space.
