    Yea we are doing really well comparatively. We have some access to oil and gas fields, which is where im working as an intern for a oil company, but it just seems things dont hit us as hard as everywhere else.

    All over the state each place has its main business that just seems to survive regardless.

    Yeah it's the #194 bulbs. Just a warning though, the blue bulbs from auto parts stores are pretty cheap and will turn a light blue/white after a few weeks. Not sure about the red bulbs. It's not really that hard to do in fact it's pretty easy. Not sure if it'll be the same on your truck but the hardest part for me was my dash was plugged into this little thing at the back that was a PITA to release because there was no space for my hands.
