Made some clear turn signals and did a switchback LED mod!

I didn't mean to separate the lens from the assembly but I fixed it later.

I hate wiring so I'm glad there wasn't much I needed to do.

These should have come OEM with clears and an amber bulb.

It was completely an accident when I was trying to separate it from the car. If you look close at the upper corner of that assembly you'll see a chunk of plastic missing that the previous owner broke and I think it separated there and as I was struggling with it I slowly pulled it apart lol. I had some FIPG from an oil pan job I did on my old Toyota Matrix lying around and sealed it with that.

Did spark plugs and another oil change today.

This is driver's side with cylinders 7, 5, 3, 1 in that order from top to bottom.

I was not pleased to see the gunky oil on some of the plugs or the orange rings on a few of them (presumably meaning oil changes not happening enough and slight overheating happening). This thing runs noticeably better, though. Gonna replace a ton of vacuum lines soon, too. The oil change was uneventful, thankfully.
