 The solenoid will be here in a day or so, and I will install it as soon as 
it

 the hole I cut for access on the Internet (I'm getting to where I like this

Just don't forget to turn your headlamps off when you park the car. Dead

How about a hydraulic bonnet release?!  :-)
You could even run silicone fluif in it!
