Lights look awesome Rich! Want to do the ones on my Denali? I have an extra set of tail lights that I was going to put blue LED strobes in.

Thanks!
I tried to go down the road of building for people. There is not a streamlined process to do it cost effective and efficiently.
With the work that goes into it I would have to charge around 500$ for a pair or a bit more.
Some day I will get a ink jet printer and start producing my own circuit boards instead of using perf board. That would help the process out, a lot.

Custom etched boards maybe?

I have thought about that, The other thing is if I were to do that it would take the "fun" out of the hobby, if that makes sense.

It does, kinda. I'd probably have just as much fun designing the boards on some software, then the custom etching process, then the finished product after. I had a lot of fun messing with software for custom schematics for a school project to make them look nice.

All white everything!

Painted the grill white today to match the rest of the truck. Now it does not look like it has a huge tooth gap anymore.

Looks good. I never liked the chrome strip on the grills, that is why I painted mine all black, along with the bumper and headlight trim..

Thanks, the chrome strip on mine was white from the factory, but the black mesh inserts were not.

I will get you one. the lady of the house took that one.

Deleted the garbage can resonator yesterday and put in a 18" piece of straight pipe with a dual tip.
Exhaust rattle gone and it looks and sounds better.

Also going to be picking up these headlights in the near future. Others are slightly faded and have a bunch of surface cracks, besides. these ones are black!

As requested. The picture without a filter.
I will have to do a shoot again once all the mods are done.
