ya ive had that everyonce in a while where you get a bunk part..and you think..oh man...this is a new part and its still not working..it MUST be something else, and you ened up wasting a bunch of time, you get confused until you go,.hmm..maybe ill try replacing the part i just replaced..only to see it works, you get frustruated and pissed off.....but it happens

good to know its working properly now

 

go with LED interior lighting!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/clintonscanon/5308195411/this is my dome light!! -front only, rear needed a different configuration.

 

woah, i got a smaller version in the front, similar to what i have in the rear .whered you find that one from

 

mine is from a brand called Putco and required some modification to the metal tabs in the housing to hold the bulb, easy.

 

ok cool, what model # was that?

 

im not sure, it was part of a kit. and i happen to have another one as well as lots of the ones for the back light (they get used in all sorts of vehicles) i have some funny shaped ones too.

these are all supposed to be 'defective parts' BTW. customers install them at home and put one LED in backwards and it doesnt light up, so they assume the whole kit is bad. we give them a new kit and tell them to put the bulbs in the right way and the old kit goes into warranty, when putco issues an RGA we have to dispose of the products. so i take them home and put them in my friends cars and trucks. lol

we had a whole TON of third brake lights, light up emblems and step sills too that all got fired into the garbage, brand new... all working. because of this. a procomp 35" tire that we had to cut a chunk out of the side wall because it wasnt able to be ballanced? ive never heard of that happening before.
LOADs of box covers and stuff too, bull bars, step bars and all kinds of light bars. because of like one chip in the chrome or a tiny little dent.

so once and a while blazer parts are going to come about, same with parts for people i know.
i <3 my job

 

ah very nice, i get the same with some of the stuff we sell. either just told not to bother shipping it back because the part isnt worth that much, or larger things have to show a picture of it destroyed.

 

where do you work?

 

at a bike store, so get that thing with bike parts, roof racks/bike racks, ski stuff, etc.

 

oh ok, i work at a place called "Custom Truck Parts" the name kinda says it all, from tires to cab lights and everything in between
