    Do you find the LEDs too bright when driving at night when it's really dark? I know you can't dim them either. Only reason I haven't done it yet either..

Wheel bearings 5100s front and rear and ES master bushing kit. Brakea fluid and stainless steel lines and anything else that comes up along the way. He learned how to paint saulder and wrench.

    Quite the project you guys have there. Reminds me of when I was younger and my dad and i would rebuild the dirt bikes and do all the maintenance. Since he's passed now and I inherited his truck I've been doing lots of work and mods to it. Enjoy the bonding time and be patient. Haha

    Yeah man that would be cool. I had to paint the led on the switch to my Hellas cause it was way too bright when turned on for desert driving! My side markers have the sylvania zevo LEDs 6000k and I have a pure white led for turn signals that I put in there too. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1432956192.722927.jpg

    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.
