Can you show a pic of where you mounted the led light strips under the dash on both sides?

For the driver's side, I couldn't find a flat surface to mount the strip on, so I wrapped it around the A/C vent which gave it plenty of brightness. For the passenger side it stuck perfectly to the plastic cover below the glove box by the feet. You can only see the strip if you put your head down by the floor mat.

i'm looking to do the led floor lighting. .but i want like a single style led .. instead of the strips.... dont get me wrong.. you did an awesome job!

 

quick question..... do you daisy chain the wires?... then go to the dome light?.. meaning.. each led strip has a black and red... .can you tie them all together then vampire tap to the grey dome wire?

 

something like these..  https://www.amazon.com/LEDMIRCY-Rock-Green-Kit-Waterproof/dp/B01MECII60/ref=lp_15736411_1_21?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1523389825&sr=1-21

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

With the help of pgamboa’s thread about tow mirror upgrade I swapped the manual tow mirror for the power fold. And swapped out the amber running lamps for the smoked colored lenses.

 

I was one of the lucky few that all I had to do was change out the door switch and swap the mirrors since my truck came with the manual fold tow mirrors from the factory.

Where did you get those smoked lenses? Are they OEM or do they fit OEM?

 

I also swapped with pgamboa's wiring and couldn't be happier.

Boost Auto has them. They fit right in, newer model mirrors have different connectors so I had to get the pig tail wiring as well and do some soldering.

I looked at them. I considered buying. Good to know they have a good fit.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
