Thanks to you I keep trying to hoard all the foglight switches I find, not to mention underhood storage boxes, reel lights, esky clusters.

I can only hope I have a stockpile like yours one day,

Lol. I go in spurts..I sell as I need funds for truck stuff. Sometimes stuff is in demand..other times not..I have around 20 driver side battery trays at the moment for some reason lol.

Eventually this stuff will be hard to find...and my hope is that there will be enough folks around who still need/want it.

So hoard away I say!!!

For example..current status of switch collection. It fluctuates from time to time.

One find was a set of Bosch e code lights that I have been hunting for a while. I finally have a complete set and have starting gathering parts to get those installed.

Dang.....nice find! I need to find some of these!!

So in preparation for installing my bosch e code lights, I started cleaning up my quad brackets a little more. Previously I had just painted the trim rings as I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep the quad light setup or not.

So I have pulled the buckets, blasted them, and will paint them. I also pulled the hardware and clips and have started working on cleaning those up. Next will be the adjusters and bracket.

Well I guess I’ll pick up where I left off. I finally got the rest of the buckets blasted and then painted them. I also blasted a couple sets of metal fog light buckets and got those painted as well.

Then I proceeded to mark up and cut out the tow hook valence for the fog lights, since gm decided we shouldn’t have both options at the same time. I purchased a fog light only valence a few months ago from the dealer to use as a template, or for a planned future project...

Then I used my die grinder with a nice carbide bit and cut out the openings.
