Kbuskill's 2008 Burb LTZ "MOD" Thread

That's frustrating for sure. As for fuel economy, what was your average on E85 and what do both cost per mile?

I'm still running E85, was going to switch over but thought I'd run a few more tanks of corn through it. Price went up six cents a gallon last time so the margins are getting close to being the same, maybe.

Mine went up, too. I'm on the second tank now. After the first tank, I was at 0.18/ mile. With 89 I was at 0.194 iirc. Will run numbers again after this tank and post in the e85 thread.

They came in today... now I've gotta get my son to pull the headlights and get them installed.

I will try to get a video after they are installed.

I want to see these in action.

I'm very interested to see those installed.

Well I had my son pull everything apart for me today so I could solder in the sequential turn signal modules.

I like the way they look with the parking lights OFF...

I don't like them as much with the parking lights ON because I have type 1 switchbacks and the turn signal is harder to see because the white parking lights are blindingly bright...

I don't think I ordered type 1 LEDs but that is what I ended up with.

Looks like I need to order the type 2 switchbacks to get the look I am going for.

I hate to order new bulbs when there is absolutely nothing wrong with these... anybody need some type 1 switchbacks???... lol

Holy flippin bright. Yes, I agree. Better when the lights are off.

Nicely done, as usual.

Don't leave them on too long Ken or someone's going to land on you!

 

[iamdub]

Can you put the parking lights on a relay so they're killed when the turn signal circuit is on?

 

[Rocket Man]

I agree, the park light needs to go off when the turn signal is active. Is that what the other type of switchback will do? I know on the cars that have white led park lights that switch to turns that's what happens.
