@05Single I installed them in july. I had some really ugly and tall leds from superbrightleds before that but I took them out because they weren't that bright. The old ones lasted a year with no hassles so that will be the benchmark for these. Even if they fall short, the new pair was cheaper than just one of the superbrightleds bulbs.

I love the billet look. I was hesitant to cut my grille, but the whole thing is cracked in a couple places and three of the mounting points are busted, and the chrome is peeling, so I went for it. I'll pull it apart and try to fix the cracks, sand and paint it. I'll pick up an oem grille, and throw it in whenever I sell it.

I really want to do white in the front. When I do that i'm going to convert the drl to turn signal and do switchbacks in the drl and turns.

Me too. I think painted will look great. I go back and forth whether I want to colormatch the billet grille as well because mine isnt in the greatet shape. Doesnt matter, Body work and paint isn't for a long time anyway.

I thought about converting my DRL's to a turn signal, but my sidemarkers aren't switchbacks and I wouldn't like the two signals alternating between amber/white and the sidemarker just flashing white/off. They make 194 switchbacks but it requires wiring modification that I dont have the want to try.

This Portland Oregon?

It is indeed. Its a counter-culture haven. If you havent heard one of our expressions, its "Keep Portland weird" and everybody proudly does so lol

@1992rs reason I asked is I put 3157 leds in my 05 silverado and they only last about 6 months before burning out. Went through two sets before I found out the correct bulb is actually a 4114. Bought a set of those and they lasted for years.
Most, like me, just automatically thought it's a 3157

Yeah the owner of Music Millenium here in Portland copied that from Austin and copyrighted the Portland version. But I believe Portlanders embrace it far more than Austin because this city is definitely weird. So much so that a cable tv series called Portlandia which showcases the weirdness with only a bit of exaggeration became a national sensation.

I don't know anything about Portland but it is definitely embraced here as well lol. I mean there are some serious weirdos out here too. But it's also the live music capital.

I actually found this while browsing. Didn't even know this was a thing lol.

Dropped my XL off at my cousin's Goodyear station, as my 4WD didn't work.

Turns out the actuator shit the bed, they had to have one sent from a supplier... that didn't happen today because of the 12" of snow, 30mph winds and temps rapidly approaching zero.

They also had to replace the front blower motor (as I didn't have any heat in the front), and found that I had an on-the-way-out hub and bearing assembly when they re-checked my alignment.

While they had it there, I had the POS Kelly Safari ATR's taken off, and put the General Grabber ATII's on. Still debating on what size tire I want to put on the 20's I picked up, the Grabber's should get me through till at least April.

Don't have a total bill, but I'm guessing it's upwards of $800.

Ouch. Merry Christmas to the XL!
