Hi Nevergrowup, love the bronze finish on your wheels! Did you do it yourself, or were they done professionally?

Thanks! I did it with DupliColor rattle cans. The barrels are gloss black for contrast.

Big difference in the inside lighting.

I finished installing the 7 LED's in my third brake light. I think it's the most noticed light now since it's much brighter. I like it!

Replaced alternator. Stopped the battery drain. Bad regulator.
Pain in the arse job. Not rocket science, just not as easy as the instructions let on.

Did the fog light DRL hack today.
Had to work quite a bit getting the headlight locking tool on the stub. The stub isn't centered in the hole and you have to manipulate it quite a bit with the tool before they engage.
Also put Chinese LEDs in the fog lights. Amazing how much whiter they are than the original bulbs.

In your picture on the right side say at the 3 oclock position there is a wire attached to a unit of some type....Can you tell me what that is, and what it's for?
Thanks!

Since I'm still awake and this looks like a single row bearing, I'm doing more research on the replacement. Surprised to find the bolts are not torx head.

Yesterday evening I weatherproofed the top and started installing my Depo tail lights. About an hour later I had one done and quite a lot of cuts and bruises on my fingers.
