What tail lights do you have on your truck? Are they the Morimoto XB LED tail lights?

yes they are the Morimoto's, a little pricey but I like them a lot. I had the  same issue out of the box like others have reported "bad resistors" but morimoto sent replacements out in about a week they have worked perfectly since then.

I am considering putting those on my truck as well. What resistors fail? I thought they were encased in one unit with out the need for external resistors.

The resistors are attached to the back of the lights they are removable/replaceable. I bought them off of amazon since that was the best price, out of the box they had hyperflash, I messaged the seller and morimoto shipped the new resistors directly to me. all they wanted to know was if I had any other led's installed which I did not.

Nice stance! Where did you get the grill with the LED illuminated bowtie?

I did mine almost a year ago, LOVE IT!!!  Got mine from the local dealership.  I think that the 14-15 is different than the 16-18.  A neighbor/friend of mine has one on his 14, it doesn't shine as bright as mine does.  It may be that my neighbor has a first gen illuminated bow tie. 

 

Just a FYI:  You will have to drill a hole thru the grill, mine was off-centered a bit.

Those illuminated bow ties look great on painted grills. I want to try it on my chrome grill but not sure how well it will turn out.

That's what my neighbor has, chrome grill.

Probly putting these on today, brushed “aluminum” center caps. I like how it goes with the rest of the aluminum on the wheel. The polished chrome ones are just out of place IMO.

 

Of course now I’m into that section of mods that you do when you’re bored and can’t think of mods to do but you just have to be doing something to your truck. [emoji1787][emoji1787]715c33409f94b144714aa452501d0edc.jpg

 

And they look good! Haha perfect fit too.

Figured I'd wrap my fogs in yellow tint. Looked good on my old jeep, but I'm kinda mixed on its look. Functions well, yellow did seem to do better in the snow at night, but I'm not sold. Had mixed reviews from coworkers and friends. Thoughts on here?

 

First and second are for how it looks in the day and night, third is headlights only (LED) and last is yellow tinted fogs only.

 

Output is still quite significant, but part of me thinks its brighter. [emoji848]

 

Also shoutout to my old jeep who is on the left, now owned by my grandpa. 7c8b744454677c87732c21a2b86373fe.jpg98ffdca1bb5e79ae5620d8f5876a80ee.jpg73ab347abd622a6663a62a329e374ea8.jpg060943048e4bf5e9220fbe9c58e99a1c.jpg

Nothing too interesting, just installed my 3rd battery in 26,000 miles (original lasted 17,000 miles before dropping a cell and warranty replacement only lasted 9,000 miles before dropping a cell) and mounted my Maglite behind the seat.

I dig it. I put a pair of LED bulbs in my fogs on my tundra that were toggleable from white to yellow. They were always white when they came on, but if you turned them off/on real quick they’d turn yellow and I used it a ton. What’d you use to wrap them??

    • 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. I'm taking this truck home.   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 rebuild service, 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. 
    • The average lifespan of automobiles on the road is increasing - here's why
    • Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
    • Still $3.01 with even more places at this price
