Ha, good reply.

I'm willing to be uncool (that's never been a problem for me, being too cool) so that you might learn to better consider your choices and opinions.

Simplified misinterpretation?  You're the one that can't decide what he wants to mansplain or be offended by next.

LOL That's most of his spinning

Probably gonna put the Silverstar fog light bulbs that were already in there back in.  These amber LEDs don't give off much actual light. I like the look but would rather try an amber incandescent instead.

My dad tried to swap in LED tailights in his Camaro and had a similar problem.

I think the problem is a lot of LED replacement bulbs are low quality in general. The good LEDs I've seen require a power supply to be wired into the system.

Bulbs and entire LED units, too.

There were LED tail light bulbs in the truck when I got it.  The guy never bothered with a resistor, though, so they just flashed stupidly.  I wouldn't run LED tails anyways because they don't generate any heat to melt the snow off like incandescents do.

Are your fogs just regular LED bulbs or actual LED Kits? The one I run in the Fogs of the Vett and Headlights of the 'Rolla throw TONS of light!

Just bulbs, these: http://a.co/eexsMvw

Go with the kits! It's like night and day! I grabbed some cheap ones that were on sale for 10 bucks (Down from $27) and they work fine!

Here ya go!

[giant_mtb]

Sweet, I'll look into them.  Those look more like the headlight LEDs that I got, with the heat sink and all that.  Those fog bulbs I got are just a bunch of flashlight bulbs stuck together on a stick instead of an actual, powerful LED like the headlight or the one you posted there.  Now I know!

These ones are "980W" and "147,000" lumens.

[Laconian]

980W? Yeah right, there's no way a lead acid 12V electrical system could support it.

[giant_mtb]

I should buy them just for the Rupert Reaction.

[CaminoRacer]

[giant_mtb]

Nah, I really like the Sylvania Silversterrr Ultrers that were in the fogs before.  They're pretty bright and a nice, white color.  Despite the bad rap Silverstars get...these have lasted the entire time I've owned the vehicle and then some, as they were installed when I bought it.

[giant_mtb]

Gave up trying to find a direct replacement for that bent wheel; couldn't buy direct from the manuf. and they basically just said "well, you can buy them online, but I don't know what offset you'd need."  Ordered a black steelie from RockAuto...they had one left.  It's the same wheel as the spare, $65 shipped.  I'll have them put my Grabber on the new wheel so I can put the spare back under the truck.  Probably would've bought 4 of 'em if they'd had them in stock. 

Lesson learned...go with super generic black steelies next time.

[giant_mtb]

Wheel is here.  Will get mounted ASAPz.

Especially for the low, low price of $15.80!

Love that this shit is in my backyard.  Winter is beautiful.



Took an hour back road cruise before the super bowl parties.  Only 17 miles, but that's all you need sometimes.  That was the only vehicle I saw on my journey...right as I was snappin pics. hah.

[Submariner]

Beautiful.

Have you ever considered a light bar?

Chances are I'll never get one, but if I did.

Nice!

Too small. You need a Dart with two 50-inchers.

I'm satisfied with the size of my vagina sword.

I've been thinking about doing one for my dad's truck.  A good one supposedly puts out a tremendous amount of light, and has the benefit of not fouling up your stock (i.e. DOT compliant) light setup.

Jesus man, why don't you get an American truck. Who gives a shit about the difference between Jap/Korean garbage?
These POS aren't even comparable.

You are so stuck in the '90's. Times, and vehicles, have changed.
