What a wonderful world that would be!

Its not that hard to re-wire the existing lights. Or you can grab an aftermarket set.

I love the look of colodude's lights, but I couldn't justify spending the money on aftermarket lights.

I just grabbed some stock tails off someone from kijiji for 40$, baked them open, and ran an L.E.D strip inside.

During the day the centers look a little brighter, but at night they are more evenly matched.

18 individual component LEDs in each housing. I think the 1N4004 diodes I selected aren't up for the job. There's a bit of reverse leakage current that's causing one light to flash with the other. Maybe a zener diode will take care of it.

I bought them to fix some suspension issues I've been having. Random little clunks I couldn't narrow down were driving me nuts!! I won't be livin the low life with the roads I drive on... Plus I'm not a big fan of the super low look. Reminds me of a wanna be gangster kid with his pants half way down his ass Just want a 3/4" gap all around, and don't want to worry about binding axels. But you're right. I do need to drop a little. Rught now the front is higher than it was on stock! Lol
