Raven, still got that other set of bulbs?

This is a good thread btw.

Thanks, I was hoping this thread would be appreciated.
Which bulbs? Ive purchased a few sets recently.

You said you bought 2 sets of those whiter back up lights, I was wondering if you wanted to sell me the other set.

 

[Raven6t9]

tinting your rear lights is good and cheap.

I was thinking about putting this down, but I wanted to look into it more to see how much the paint costs, because most people dont have the right paint and would have to buy it. How much did your paint cost an what kind is it?

Benny! wtf happened to your tires lol

Looks like ice to me. There is a very inexpensive mod for icy tires too, you just heat up some water. . . . .:biggrin:

Oh sorry man, I meant one set, two bulbs. Here I'll post up the link of where to get them. Im going to be ordering more too, like the bulbs for under the dash, I put in some of the LED blue ones today but if you put in both bilbs, they dont work, so I have one blue bulb on the passenger side. Then maybe I'll look into brighter interior lights. Does anyone know if your brake lights and turn signals are 1156?

Oh Minus, heres the page:

hell yeah i am! ive no job and im not a student yet

I like that sidelight idea. Im putting that in the list on the first page. Let me know how much it is for tail light smoke spray and I'll add that too if its cheap enough. I guess you could hook that side light up to a seperate switch as well, that would look cool to just be running that at night.:thumbup:
You should explain a little more of how you did it though.

Awesome, I just put it up, I need to do some full write ups on these and put the list as links to them.

why would you drill into your headlight? wouldnt that cause condensation to build up over time?
