I could just get new LED's but the Limileds are not cheap.

Scored a nice hood for $40 off of craigslist for mine yesterday. Need to sand it & primer it, then get one of my friends to paint it to match or at least as close as possible before I put it on. Probably be a while, but a junk yard hood in questionable shape starts around $75 & goes up from there depending on what they want to charge you based on condition.

Daughters Blazer '02. Oil Cooler line was weeping from the steel pipe portion. The steel pipe rusted where it runs above the oil Filter assembly, where you can't see it. So all the talk about cutting off the crimp and replacing it with Hose clamps went out the window. After seeing how buried the sections of steel line to rubber line is, I would want to pull these Coolant lines off the car IF I ever was to cut off the pressed clamps and replace with hose clamps, . It's gotta save time over fighting with them hidden. Not to mention you probably have to spend more time taking the Fan and shroud off. I replaced this 'Oil Filter Assembly to Radiator' hose with only the removal of the Bottom Shield and the Air Filter box. That gave me plenty of room to work and run the new lines. No reason to take out the Fan and Shroud.
One key Suggestion. Get/borrow the correct tool to get the connections (JIFFY-TITE) going into the radiator. MUCH better then prying the Springs with a Mechanics Pick. Get the tool that is small and round (like Lisle #22990 4) as compared to the one that has a bit more handle to it. (Lisle #22710) It's tight for that handle type one at the shroud. I thru a coat of Rustoleum on the area that rusted out on the old ones. Maybe it'll help.

I installed window visors front & back and replaced the missing plastic fasteners for the front air dam/bumper valance with earlier bolt & capture nut clips. The recent snow pulled it off ! Now I can have some fresh air when it's raining and leave the windows cracked open,clandestinely,in the sun without worrying about rain
