Tried it out this morning and found out I switched the cut off shield on my drivers side lights >.< Gotta redo it.

You're not the first to make that mistake.  I've yet to muster the courage to do this mod, and I'll probably make the same mistake too :P  Glad it all worked out in the end.  Car looks good!

LED's as turn indicators?

irregal much?

How so? They're switchback, so they turn amber when i signal and just turn back white when im not signaling. I've had them for almost a year now and have had no trouble with popo's

Getting a new windshield in today, pretty stoked as it was in bad shape.

Not much to update as of late due to spending so much already hahah I have plans but I've been spending quite a bit and trying to hold off for now. Will update with anything new though :)

As sad as it is we all know the season is coming to an end soon, so I went ahead and ordered a LED conversion for my taillight assembly and interior. Getting the Killer B oil pickup for peace of mind as well as the lower sports grillcraft!

I was under the impression he had them blink white. But he said they turn amber.
