    Switched over to high power AllSeason bulbs specifically designed for bad weather by minimizing short wavelength blue light.

    [​IMG]

    AllSeason left vs SuperBright Right
    [​IMG]

    There produce a very golden color light. The filter on the bulb appears to filter and reflect back blue light but some does escape and cause the bulb to look blue.
    [​IMG]

    So far I think I like them. More info here:

    Yesterday Loretta got some 3rd gen OR springs, some new MOOG replacement UCAs, and Mevotech greasable sway bar links. DBD238B8-28A7-4176-8EB8-881705070B7B.jpg2796F248-2998-4D65-AD49-E6E1C1190B88.jpg

    Edit. I highly suggest a bench mounted coil spring compressor or let a shop handle the swap. The oreillys/autozone compressor didn’t fit well inside the 3rd gen coil

    You can use the weight of the truck to do it too. Forget using those shitty "coil assembler of death" units.

    I saw the YouTube method using a jack and the LCA but I I’ve heard of cam bolts breaking and I didn’t want to fool with the alignment.

    Yes just not right away. When I go back to work in a week I’ll let our mechanics do it for free. It won’t be driven much until then

    I didn’t install a backup camera but I do remember seeing a wire for it. Yes I does come with Bluetooth but CarPlay only works when your phone is plugged in.
