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??

    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
