Lol right? Such a slacker! Should be getting the tip on and a few other things done to it this coming week. Trying to get everything DONE to the vehicles that I need to this week, so that the following week is the final "clearance" of stuff that we won't be taking with us and the packing up of everything, and the week after will be focusing on cleanup.

I hate moving.

Also... bought these last night:

I kinda like the idea of being able to switch back and forth from white to yellow light when I need them. Bought a set for a pair of round AUX lights for my Ram as well. I'm sure we'll get a lot of use out of them on the roads in KY going through the hills.

Dave, I'm sure you can vouch for the benefits of yellow lights in snowstorms and fog.
I actually bought those and they sent me the wrong ones. When I plugged them in I noticed they sent my white and amber in stead of white and yellow :facepalm:
Anyway they weren’t very bright anyway, at least not the ones I bought (Chinese brand). Thought I’d let you know, hopefully yours are better

Good job so far, looks like fun!

Thanks, man.

Well.... I got them in yesterday. Then, I was toolin' around looking at some more stuff and realized I ordered the wrong size. Got 2 pairs of H3's instead of a pair of H3 for the ram and a pair of 880's for this. :facepalm:

Gonna have to send a set back and get the correct ones.

Interesting

Yeah we'll see how well they do. The reviews all seem good, but who knows. Sometimes reviewers are more "form over function" instead of "form FOLLOWS function"... but we'll see.

If they light up good I’ll need a link, I’m still interested in having a pair in my fog lights

Been pretty busy with packing for the move, but I managed to get a few things done on the Hoe.

New washer fluid reservoir and new line for the rear (found out that's actually where the leak was coming from).

Headlight shave, smooth, and restoration.

Also did the high 4 mod finally.

Hooked up the new fog light bulbs and they work really good, unfortunately P.O. strikes again... Completely destroyed the holes the bulbs go into the fog lamp housings when he shoved the HID bulbs into them. So between that, the oxidized lenses and the reflectors rattling around inside the housings, I'm just going to end up getting new housings. So no fogs for now.

I'd upload pics, but I keep getting errors on my phone saying the file size is too large.
