Mine dim with the factory dimmer knob.

 

Maybe the newer ones do but I heard of people not being able to a while back. It was ever on or off I believe. Maybe I'm on crack?? Or too much brake cleaner and plasti dip fumes the past two hours. Hahaha

Just ordered them regardless. And will be here mid next month since I went with free shipping. Haha. Not really in a rush anyways.

 

I bought my white ones about 4 years ago from eBay. They were the cheapest leds I could find and they dimmed and worked right up until I swapped them for red. I just got bored with the white haha. They new ones (also super cheap eBay) dim fine too.

That's just weird.

 

Honestly I like it ha

 

That backspace though.

 

I was able to download a free student version of auto cad yesterday. Ive been messing around with it. drawing up a bed rack and a rear bumper. And yea i know i suck at it, i only just got it yesterday. Any helpful criticism is welcomed.

 

Help a brother out, gotta link for the Autocad program?

 

If you have a valid student email you can download it for free from Autodesk. I did but don't use it because my job uses Solidworks

 

Thanks for the quick response, I'll figure something out!

 

I just typed it in on Google. They only asked what school and the schools site. Not even my school email.

 

Thanks for that, I'll use the college I graduated from!

 

yea..a little haha

its growing on me..

Backspacing? Dude, thats Long travel.

and i love it

looks good, and also complicated..haha and familiar..

You going to build it yourself or someone else?

You'll want at least 1.5'' above the roof to stop it from smacking it as it will move. Idk how tall you made the roof part but don't go above 7'' or you will have NO power on the hwy. Id loose the dimple die too. You want it as aero dynamic as possible. I made my lights fold down for a reason.

 

When I did it asked for something with my school, can't remember ha

 

shes too clean

 

Yea the plan was to build it. My dads got a tubing bender we've got a welder grinder ect. Have the tools to do it. I'll add some space between The roof and the rack and I didn't think about the simple die hurting the aerodynamics. I'll ditch that part and chop the rack a bit to make it lower profile. the bed rack is actually going to seperate from the front part that supportes the roof rack. I ride dirt bikes and haul stuff so I need the bed sometimes. I was thinking about using 2 bolt flanges to have the rear part dissconnect. I thought about interlocking clamps but they are so expensive.

 

Mines a 2000 and if I try to dim my dash lights they cut off but I think my switch may be bad or something
