Just a word of advice, never use the original sockets in the cluster for your led's. There is no physical way to get the original bulb out unless you bend the connector/tab.

Just goto autozone, advance, o'reilly's and get 1/2 inch sockets for each bulb. Yes they are $2.49 or around there, but they will save you in the long run.

And on another note, a fresh fuel filter went on today. Plus I cleaned parts of the air intake system. The blaze is revving high right now, so I'll probably blow it out soon, hope that helps lol.

Got some new stock tails from the salvage yard and smoked them to my liking.



More pics of the process in my profile.

Ah. Makes sense then. I cannot stand dull headlights/taillights personally, that would drive me nuts.

Probably for the best... mechanic was not thrilled by all the mud caked up on the tank skidplate, haha.
