LED upgrade

Well, I priced out the sequential LED lamps and they were way out of price range! Each lamp is over $60.00 US and that it just too much. I did however purchase regular LED lamps for $16.00 each and installed them in the car. I also removed the front license plate mount and moved the plate flush with the grill block for better aerodynamics. I also removed that steel plate opposite from the cooling fan to get more airflow directly to the engine from the gap below the hood.

Here is the old setup with the standard lamps and license plate mount..........



Here is the new and improved version.................





These are extremely bright in the dark..........



(2) Trucklite "60 series" LED lamps = $32.00
(1) truck mudflap = $8.00
(2) 3 prong pigtails = $3.00

Total parts = $43.00
Labor time = 2 hours total
