what have you gotten done on your blazer today?
Got the new headlight bulbs in the mail today.
Going to put them in today and the switchback bulbs too, deal with the hyper flash until the new flasher comes in the mail tomorrow
Also, today I got one of the tail lights 100% complete and ready to go in. I plan on putting in a LOT of work this week to get the other one done.

The fuel pump on my Blazer let go on Saturday while on a (130 mile one way) trip to the lake on secondary roads. I try to avoid I-95 whenever possible especially on weekends ! (179,850 miles, original pump). OUCH ! I had to be towed (14 miles) to a AAA carecare facility in Fredericksburg,Va. were it was replaced for $ 921 picked it up Sunday morning.I had just topped the tank ! Luckily I was going to visit friends and had assistance and rides from them along with a place to stay overnight,(11 miles from breakdown) so this was possibly the best breakdown situation I could have had !

HOLY CRAP!!! $921 to replace a fuel pump! I wish you had my number I would have replaced it on the side of the road for you and had you back on the road in an hour for nothing more than some lunch at Sonic while I was in Fburg!
And Rich I need you putting in some overtime to get that second light finished buddy

921!! 
And I know! Lots of things going on right now with my actual job LMAO! It will happen soon.
I am also going a different route with the 3rd brake light. It is still going to extend across the whole rear window like it does right now, but I am going to use brighter LEDs and have 2 different boards that are split in the middle, and each one will have marker/brake/signal functionality.
Osram nightbreaker halogen bulbs and JDM LEd switchback bulbs look awesome! Also, it was raining.

Oil change, lube and filter after winter... Now I have to track down a pesky P0452 code 'cause inspection is due. Have voltage at fuel tank pressure sensor. Changed sensor. Code came right back. I have a feeling it's a wiring issue. Don't see anything obvious... Yuck!
Circuit boards are cut to size, and painted black. I will start laying out the LEDs on them tomorrow and then its soldering time. One step closer. They should be finished and installed around the 30th.
