    The one Thomas has (gonna ahve to find it again), i've been thinking if you can get it apart to change the lights in that one. Much cheaper of an option

    I like the idea with the tail lights. I want to take apart my tail lights and paint the inside of them because the lenses are smoked but on the inside it's chrome. only thing I would be worried about would be heating the lights and then the LEDs or the wires getting to hot and breaking?? I don't know just something to think about

    Don't Thomas have the reverse glow gauges? If so, whatever he has looks pretty killer. I saw them in person a few weeks ago. :peace:

    clay LEDs dont heat up...so theres no problem there.

    and bama, Ill ask him tomorrow morning what hes got and if he has any pics. thanks!

    oh Im thinkin about switchback LEDs in my corners, dont I need a special relay that replaces the factory one so I can have LEDs without the hyper flash since the LEDs have less resistance?

    and do yall think someone makes a switch back for the reverse lights? so theyre only white when im in [R] and the other times theyre red? or i guess since they dont come on at all unless its in [R] then that wouldnt work :hmm:
