Re-routed the wires for my roof lights under the luggage rack mount. Looks alot cleaner IMO. Went and trailered a wrecked '89 Blazer to my brother's house that he recently purchased for parts.

Replaced Temp. Sensor, tightened loose Muffler mounting bolts. Scored some interior seat trim pieces from the junkyard that match.

Default Productive couple of days

The past three days I installed clear corners with SilverStar Ambers for a cleaner look. Color matched my bow tie. and got the front two windows and visor of the windshield tinted.

Can you post pictures of the SilverStars lit up in the daytime? Just the parking element, not the turn signal. I'd like to see if they're any brighter than stock. Thanks!

took the exhaust off from the cat back. Torched off an exhaust from a 97 to bolt up til i realized the muffler was no good so I just took the tailpipe. Gotta track down a welder monday and fix it.

I'll take a picture of them tomorrow If im not snowed in. I know First day of sping and its snowing like CRAZY. Got to love Missouri weather.

Off the top of my head i want to say they are quite a bit brighter than stock, and I know for a fact they give off a more "orange" color than "amber". I actually like the look of the SilverStars a lot better. I would like to try to find some orange 194 leds to put in the headlights so they match a little better. I am very pleased with them, and LOVE the finished look in the Clear corners. you can bearly see a glint of blue in the reflection when they are turned off. LOVE IT!

EDIT:
My Uncle Owns a ZR2 S-10 so we always upgrade our trucks together. We both installed the clear corners and SilverStars. (we installed the Bull Bar and Fog lights this past week too.) anyway, i remembered that i had a picture of his lit up. I'll take a better picture of my blazer tomorrow (hopefully). but here ya go.

I also added a picture of the SilverStars taken with the flash on, this shows how they turn orange/amber. And another copy of the picture up above was listed so you could compare them.

Those are the signal bulbs I wanted! I've been trying to figure out the name of them for the longest time!

HAHA yeah they are AMAZING!!! there is the part number on the package.
I was only able to find them at O'Reilly Auto Parts for $9.99 a pair and at PeP Boys for $12.99 a pair. so you may have to look around or buy them online.

And for the record, they also come in this type of packaging (see thumbnail)

I would just google "Silverstar 3157A" and look at the shopping results.

Scrapped McCain 08 sticker off backglass. (was on glass when I got it at salvage yard). Cleaned up the rims I picked up yesterday. They arnt perfect but for offroading/winterbeaters I think they will work.
