    Added the 5/8 ID tubing to reroute my AC condensate drain hose, finally put a hoseclamp on my tailgate, and also fixed the evil hood weatherstrip whistle noise with the 1/4 drip line.

    I happened to see the thread about the whistling a week ago and was like never heard that before, then of course Wednesday driving back from SC, I was going 80 mph or so in a decent headwind and it sounded like a clown was living in my engine bay.

    nice1 i have my bear grill knife stuff between the driver seat and center console.
    nice trailer! and nice ATV. personally i like side X sides more than the 2 up atv’s. atvs i tend to act like a fool and do wheelies and jump them and even flip them. or crash them into fences. :rolleyes: i don’t use brakes much. and when i do i’m locking them up and than right back to full throttle.

    you realize that now when they're on you have no front turn signals, right?

    also seems like you'd get some feedback into the running lights system when you use the turn signal even when the running lights aren't on, unless you used diodes


    a better option would be to swap the leads completely... or get really creative with some circuitry

    Depends on the year and the lamps.

    The 4157 runs a slightly higher wattage than the 3157.
    Also, both are dual filament.
    If the low power filament is wired to act as DRL (and his look to be the "hot" filament), then there won't be a problem, it's only 5 watts.

    But 3157 should be okay in any year housing.

    Problem is, I went to Vatozone to find some 3157, and the Sylvania packages are tagged 4157/3157

    DOH!
