Got them off the eBay. Don't be intimidated that the seller has them upside down in every picture, including the one where he photoshopped them onto a blazer.

I re-wired them today. I originally had the LED's wired at running lights, and the regular bulbs as the signals, but the LED's overpowered the regular bulbs a LOT. So I wired the LED's as the signals and stop lights. They look a lot better now, plus the LED's will be on when I stop during the day.

Pics tomorrow if I don't forget again.

Well they dont sell LED's for us! On my old Grand Am forum they have a write up on how to do it. Im gonna either grab some clear euro cheap *** used lights on ebay or find some stockers and LED them. It more a wiring/resistor/flasher nightmare than an actual build thing lol

If/When I get around to it, I'll do a write up for sure!

Oh yeah, I remember seeing someone do it on S10 forum. I live the idea of snagging some aftermarket ones and LEDing them. I feel your pain. I do love my new tail lights, but if they made some actual LED tails like the fullsize trucks and SUV's get, I'd be all over them.

Hit a nasty pothole. Knocked all 4 wheels off.

And with that I'm on holiday. See you all in a week!

For you audio savvy people:

http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ...d6f16c572ben02

Any idea what you need to do to get that to work. The guy at Futureshop claimed I need some $130 computer adapter because they won't just plug and play. However, Crutchfield doesn't list any needed adapters or anything, but they do have a $80 product listed that is used to retain steering wheel controls.

Do I need some computer adapter thing, or was the guy at Futureshop just trying to sucker me into another $130? I really have no clue about this stereo nonsense!
