did you ever find a pic of that switch? If not, just tell me, is it a green led? or red? or what color is it?

You can see where I had it mounted in this picture to the left of the column. I'm looking for a picture if the switch, and it was a small red toggle.

Ended up going back to stock housings but drilled out the busted bolts, and then just adjusted them the best I could and self tapped them there. Better, but still horrible.

ANd I fixed my 4hi mod.

Then I just couldn't let my exhaust do this anymore:

So I got under there and tried to come up with a new game plan. Buddy gave me the new exhaust off his CCLB OOBS Chevy. Its a single 3" Magnaflow. Only problem is mine is true duals with a scabbed in H pipe and ty 22" glasspacks, and the crappy cats I put back on after my others were stolen.

This is where my "Y pipe" should be but it is duals instead.

ANd also unveiled another leak at my cats. SO I am going to "cheat" the o2s, and Y it into the new 3" pipe and put in the plug non foulers to keep the O2s there.

Then I decided to fix the 3rd brake light after I wired it up wrong. (Had the ground of the Cargo light and the hot from the brake light. Would only turn on with the door open or cargo light on, and the brakes applied.)

And since I had 4hi headlights, why not 4hi brake lights too?!

Which also revealed that lovely grinding noise coming from my rear end. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU$%

Oh, the new 8pc clear housings and new HIDs are here, but thanks to the lovely GOV shutdown, mail isn't being delivered by the civilians who do it on base. So they will sit there til they can come back. Thanks Obama.

Shipped them to KyleGMC and then had him flat rate them to AK for me. Saved $100 in shipping!!

I will eventually go back to painted rockers and bumpers! And I love those wheels! But here in a few weeks should need some 8 lug ones and you can scrap that yucky looking skidplate and IFS!
