Well I got my idler arm done finally, I've needed to do it for 1 1/2 years. It kinda sucked. I started on sunday and finished on monday because I didn't have a pickle fork. So for all of those who want to do it, get one, you will need it.

Um, counting the time that I didn't have the pickle fork... about 5hrs If I had the fork from the beginning it would have taken about 2hrs. Also make sure you have about a 1' ratchet extension to get to the bolts that hold the arm on.

So I have been working on my led tail light project recently.








Here are some shots of the high power leds I used.


Here is the output in a small room.


And here is what the final product will look like. (I hope)
