What did you do with your truck/shop today

[Ravenkeeper]

So at night they aren't on unless using the brakes?

Correct. I remotely started my truck this morning, as I was leaving the hangar, hitch light flashed and remained off. Don't know why I thought it stayed on.

This morning I started cutting a 2x12x96, for storage management in the bed. Cut it to 64.5", leaving the line, fit perfectly. Started painting it, and had to put it on hold while the one side dried and I had to go "rescue" my kids, TPMS light was on in our CR-V. Will be time to go to bed soon, working the "graveyard shift."

 

Think I'll plug the holes in the rear wheel-wells, after I get home and before I go to bed.

Finally got around to removing the cheap LED fender marker lights I put in that have been flickering for a couple weeks. Went back to the old filament T10 bulbs I had in a drawer until I find decent LEDs and start replacing all my bulbs.

The Philips LED bulbs I put in the license plate sockets didn't even make it 6 months. Screw LED, going back to the regular ones.

My led issue is with camera washout. But mine are sylvania. They work great though

The LED "pods" I put as auxiliary/backup lights fortunately don't do that, not enough to bother me at least. Maybe it's because they are under the bumper instead of the reverse bulbs being switched out.

I do have LED reverse bulbs in and so far both are working well after a year, just a bit of flickering when it is very cold, under 20 degrees.

Wait, so you are driving with a trailer at night without taillights? That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Finally washed/cleaned her this weekend after being gross for about a month. A typical windy and dusty spring hasnt helped, nor the construction site next door at work.

Finished up polishing my wheels.

Looks good, Eagle One wadding polish works great for that stuff, and can remove all kinds of surface problems that might arise from daily use. Use on the inside first in case it's doesn't agree with the particular metal/clearcoat. I've had it work on stuff it wasn't supposed to, and not on stuff was supposed to(although my can is pretty old now). The oils in to can even make surface rust just wipe off if you let it sit for a few minutes.

I'll have to try that next time. I've been using Mothers for years now, but I don't particularly care for it all that much. It works, but it takes a lot of polishing to get the wheels clean.
