Did the scan come through?
Also, did you know you can use 2357 tail/brake light bulbs and they're brighter?
Also you can use 795s in your backup light sockets. Same base as a 1034 or 1156 but with a halogen bulb attached.

Yup, they all came through. Somehow they came though upside down though. haha. Oh well, I can turn them the right way I think. I'll see what I can do with adobe. And I'll have to look into those lights, my backup ones aren't very bright. Especially since I have the factory tint in the back. At night it's hard to see behind me. Thanks again for the write-up!

You will like the 795s and the 2357s.

cruiser, I can flip them in adobe and print them out that way. Otherwise, I would stand on me head. haha.
Sulfur, you can smoke them out probably. I've seen it done. I imagine it would be legal since they don't really serve a purpose. In order to weld them you would have to replace that whole area with a metal plate. Which would be a pain in the you-know-where and not really worth it IMO.

Oh, and I've had LED bulbs in all of my factory sockets and they work just fine. Not so good for serious brightness though, my backups are 55w halogen. If you go LEDs, get USA made. China lasts about a month and done.

The other day I was thinking of doing something with the corner lights up front. I wanted to either make them blink with the turn signal, or switch out the lenses to clear and change the bulb color to a blue or other color. I have no idea where to start with the blinker setup, so has anyone done that? For the bulb change, is that legal since they don't actually blink or really serve a purpose? Also, is there any way to make the blinkers brighter? They are pretty dim and I don't wanna end up in an accident. I was gonna try an LED bulb but that might not work with the 23 year old wiring.

Potatowalker, anything made in the USA is better! Would you happen to know how much you paid for the LEDs in all the sockets? Is it worth it over the normal bulbs?
cruiser, I can try to do that tomorrow if I get time. I'll have to play around with it a little. I Might just make a new version of it when I get to it myself. I'll just borrow my little sister's camera for a few hours and take a few good pictures to match the ones in the document you scanned.
maxpower, I think the clear ones would be brighter. The amber probably cuts out some of the light.
