StAndrew's Build

Ill be there!

 

Next update in 3 months

Hey, I have some wiring to do on some fogs and under hood lighting. You have a day or an afternoon free? Its not much, would take you no more than 2 hours, but would take me all day.

 

What are you using for under hood lighting? I was going to install a light under the hood too... Probably going to use these http://m.ebay.com/itm/171550748769?nav=SEARCH

 

Leaving tomorrow to visit family for Thanksgiving and I'll be back Monday. Maybe the following weekend if that's ok.

 

I got the Anti-Dark kit. Probably cheaper to do it yourself but I like to support vendors here when I can.

Yeah, def nothing over the holidays. Going to button this up and call it a week.

 

November is almost over....

 

Eh, I made some progress. Family keeps getting in the way

Besides, Im using the exhaust slush fund to buy Paul's coilovers so Im blaming him

 

Dayum... you REALLY like to support local vendors. I can set all that up for like literally 5-7 bucks including parts in 5-10 minutes. Literally every bulb in my truck is a hyper white LED.

Anyway Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

 

I told him the same thing. And even showed him the led strips.....

 

Yeah but mine came with a fancy sticker.

 

Hey Chris, are your 18 or 20 watt square LED fog lights pretty bright? I'm looking for some to put under my back bumper for when I'm going camping/want to tell the A-hole behind me to turn his brights off.

 

Where can you get the plunger switch? I have everything else.

 

Yes. They are no rigids but plenty bright. The lights behind my grill kind of suck but the pods in the bed and on my ditch light brackets are plenty bright. For your bumper recomend these (mocking a pair of these up for fog lights currently):

Despite the extra work involved, I would rather use a 12A @ 120V rocker switch for that, which I get in 10-20 pack bags from China for like a dollar a piece on ebay. I wouldn't trust a plunger switch under the hood for the long run.

 

Those bottom 2 are very popular and proven. In my experience the lights that utilize the 10w led bulbs last the longest... so I may go with these even though they're expensive. Basically the 20w version of these

I have all three and can't complain except to say the coating comes offl of the pods leaving a metallic hue
