Are you talking Morimoto XB HID's? I didn't see any LED's on their site for the 5202's and don't want to run HID in my fogs.

Oh yeah, I saw those too lol. Probably would if I didn't spend so much on headlight parts.
Yup. Justin tuned all my gassers way back when.

I thought I had all the LED/ retrofit situation either completed or on order. Interior LED's; license plate LED's; CHMSTL LED's; backup LED's; tail/rear turn LED's; front turn/marker light LED's; headlights will be retrofit HID soon. All check. Tonight I remembered fog lights...and the truck has these weird ones, 5202. Bulb and socket all in one. So I ordered these JDM Astar 6000k ones. That should be it.
I paid $30 for my old school Philips 5202s!
Will those plug in without having to mess with anything?

I got some new aluminum leaner/sealer yesterday that I'd ordered so I gave it a try on the front billets today. Supposedly it seals and will repel everything for 2-3 months. Time will tell. It's called Gord's and it got great reviews. I only did the fronts because it was killing my shoulder and even though they had been polished 2 weeks ago with MR Metal they were already getting a bit dull. The Gord's brightened them up. Hopefully it lasts.

And after that I decided to go see how the tune worked. As soon as I started moving, the ABS, Stabilitrack and Traction Control lights were back. Good news is, the tune really woke it up. It's way quicker. I went back and hooked up the Tech 2,checked the codes which were speed sensor, scrolled to the data display where it shows them and went for a drive. The LR isn't working well, at 35 mph it shows 6. The other 3 are fine. I had cleaned the rears which were full of grime and metal dust but had noticed the o-ring on the LR was bad and it was probably leaking. I'm going to replace that one. I think that will fix it. All my other codes are gone, steering wheel position sensor is still reading accurately.

Yes, direct replacements for the standard 5202's and they were only $25 shipped an Amazon.
Those black ones will sperate where the aluminum and plastic meet under heat. Put a piece of good electrical tape around it or pull apart and re glue with something stronger. If you want the brightest 5202 bulbs possible PM me. I'll show you what I sell.

I use zephyr pro 40 and white diamond on my billets. Once I machine polish them again I will coat them with adams ceramic coating. The ceramic coating holds the polish on mine for 9 months before needing polishing. That's not driving in the rain only clear days and wiping water off wheels after it rains. That's the only way I know to keep from constant polishing.
