Today after I worked on my family's Ford Expedition, replacing the stock radio and putting in some subwoofers, my baby was begging to get worked on too and since I had spent most all of my day on the Ford I didn't have a whole lot of time to work on her but I still managed to swap out the cluster gauge bulbs to some beautiful blue LEDs. It took all of 30 minutes and it makes a huge difference.

I am so happy that I switched to blue LEDs in mine.

I actually haven't drove her at night since I put them in lol but I have work tomorrow and I'm guaranteed at least an hour drive at night so I'll really get to experience them then.

After tonight's drive home from work I am in love with my blue gauges. I'm still not used to them so every time I looked down at the speedo it would catch me by surprise and make me that much happier about them.

I added some led rock lights! It took me a couple days due to disruptions with rain and work, but they're done and I love them. I'm already thinking about adding some more down the sides since the ones I put in were primarily the front and rear, but I haven't decided on it yet.

One of my rock lights developed a problem and is shorting out, causing the fuse for all the lights to pop so I'm trying to get in touch with the manufacturer and see what I can get worked out.

Thanks man!

And a further update, I got in contact with the guy that makes the rock light that was shorting out and got two free ones in return so now I have to decide what to do with the new light and reinstall the other one so my rock lights will be functional again.

Finally got around to replacing the rock light. I also added two more in the rear to match with the front. I'm debating getting something for the sides now. I'll post pics of the lights when it gets dark so y'all can see the difference in the rear lights.
