O sweet...I'll have to give it a try. O..I also had one more question for you...how did you black out the high beams? Is it pretty much the same process to take the headlight apart?

Yep. Fog lights, too.

Fogs, highs and mains are all shake 'n bake. They all use the same glue.

Wow that LED sidemarker setup looks pretty cool. CLEAN SC you're a genious. I think I might add this little mod to my "to-do" list for the future. It looks pretty cool. Great job. I also like the way you did your tail lights. I know there was a guy in here who did the ones for the 92-94 lights. They were pretty clean.

Those are the good leds but the strips are way too long. They will never fit, even the 3" section.

Try to find something closer-spaced. Look for trailer clearance lights. They are compact and already set up for 12v.
