Please let me know!

    Just wanted to thank you for the recommendation. I ended up ordering the multi color pack and they all work properly in the center console USB port as you said they would. I ended up leaving the white in place as it gives the most light (which is kinda the point for this location).
    If anybody wants a pic of any of the other colors, just let me know.
    Thanks again :thumbsup:

    Finished getting the Max Modular rack installed, wired up the light bar on the Victory 4X4 rack, and mounted the pelican case. Been a busy weekend!

    I would go with a total flush and fill. Depends on the age of the vehicle. I did my 2nd Gen at 100K and 200K, Dealership.

    I was thinking about removing the bezels my self, just don't know how tough they are to remove. Did you heat them up after the install?

    I have one air on board switch and I’m very pleased with how the light blue matches the OE switches.

    I bought an OBDII reader for $35 which provides the Trans oil temp reading. There are a number of YouTube videos that show how to do a multi drain and fill with an inexpensive pump system. It is time consuming, but not difficult to do the service. From everything I have read, a flush is the least preferred method, especially on an older truck as it can dislodge debris and actually create problems.

    Six clips that you need to pinch to release. After install, I just popped them back on.

    Take the emblem off, paint it whatever color you like, then put it back on. There's a thread here somewhere explaining how to do it. It's not difficult, and I think it looks better since it stays the original size.

    Edit: Here's the thread, starting at post #13...

    Can someone tell me what size bolts fit these. It’s on the left side of the engine bay.

    I like this chop, I get snow pack between that extra horn that sticks out, with the way you chopped, that extra horn is gone and wouldnt pack with snow anymore.

    Here is a picture from last year where the snow would hang up in there. I have since put in mud flaps, but snow pack still ends up in there. It freezes solid and makes a hell of a noise when driving.
