This weekend I installed some new license plate lights. Found em on Amazon for 20 bucks. It's not just bulbs, it's a complete replacement lamp housing. I read the reviews and everyone said they were bright as all hell. The only bad reviews were because they are TOO bright. Lol. One guy said that he can't use his backup camera at night because the plate lights blind the camera.

Next up on the list is to wash this filthy beast. It's literally been months since I have washed it.
Those are indeed ridiculously bright for license plate lights lol.

drod.... I thought the same thing about my tail lights. I also didn't like the tail light lens were same as 1st model ( older looking). So I found these tail lenses. ( The back up /clear portion is also 10-times brighter with stock bulbs!)

I forgot..... I am on my work laptop.... I'll post photo when I get home

I think someone else on the boards bought the same set. Can't remember who tho.

I don't remember. But I also just realized that there's two or three other sellers on Amazon selling what looks like the same exact lights for like 3 bucks cheaper. Oh well, I'm not gonna worry over 3 bucks. I'm satisfied with them for the $20 I paid for them. Now I just wonder how long will they last?? If they crap out in a month or two then no they aren't worth $20 then. The last cheap LED bulbs that I had in the dactfac housings had a few LEDs start flickering or burn out after a few months. But I paid basically a little over a dollar per bulb. You get what you pay for.

Factory radio took a shit. We were on our way to my mother-in-law's house and the sound was cutting out.

"What the crap?"
"Oh yeah, it's been doing that", my wife says.
"Uh... for how long?"
"I dunno, couple weeks?"
(You married fellas can relate to this next question)
"So uh... when were ya planning on telling me?"
"I don't know, I thought you knew.. you drive it too!"
"It's not done it when I drive it..."

No sooner did I say that, than did the sound cut out and not come back at all.

Ordered a cheapy chinese made double DIN touchscreen w/ nav, bluetooth, backup cam, and all that jazz off of amazon for 169. Had like 4.5 starts with about 500 or so reviews. Figured it couldn't be that bad. At least she'd have some tunes until I can afford to get the radio I want for it.

Got here today. Gonna try and knock out the install tomorrow.

Nice. I had a really nice Sony android. I should've kept it, but I needed my cd/dvd option.

Curious to know if this installs without cutting the support bracket in the radio compartment, as well as your eval of the quality.
