    I looked into dipping them and it would be a major pain in the ass. My buddy wants to buy them for hist truck so i'll probably just remove them and put new 3m double sided tape on them.
    Depends on how/if they have damaged the stock mirror surround

    Looked into dipping them? Pain in the ass?

    Dipping is the easiest shit in the world. I dipped my entire rear bumper in less then 45 minutes. Just buy the blue scotch painter's tape, and get some newspaper to tape off around the mirror, spray it on, and bam.

    But if you're selling them, do that. Just get rid of the fuckers lol

    :D


    I am legitimately interested in how your tires fit. Any clarance issues at all? I'm guessing your front flaps would've been the only issue

    I did a full 360 circle turn thing haha, full lock, in the Firestone parking lot lol. Didn't rub at all, put it in reverse and so far no rubbing that way either. I don't have my front flaps on but I might trim them and put them back on for winter, so we'll see then. If they rub then no biggie, I'll just take them off again

    Seriously, fuck changing light bulbs. So today, I went outside before work (mind you, it's like 30 fucking degrees out) and went to change my parking lights to LED. I changed my third brake light, license plate lights, map lights, dome light, all last night, but didn't want to mess with the parking lights until today.

    So there I am, 0900, changing a lightbulb in the cold ass wind. I pulled out the driver's side parking light socket, old bulb came out, new LED went in, and I pushed the light back into the housing. Went to test that side, and it didn't work. So I proceeded to pull the socket back out, when suddenly, this:

    [​IMG]

    Well, fuck. So I knew instantly that I needed to take the entire housing out. EASIER SAID THEN DONE. I don't know about the pre-2012's, but my housing was a BITCH to get out.


    So after struggling with it for almost 2 hours, this is where I got:

    [​IMG]

    So after that, I got the light out, re-installed everything, and now I have LEDs. NOT worth it though. Looking back, I wish I would have never messed with the parking lights. But now they're on there and I put a piece of electrical tape around them just to make sure they never come loose.
