Still waiting on the nipple ones....

Ha...... Uh, For him or "her" :Nonono:


The eagle eye "bolt" LED could be mounted as a puddle light, by drilling a hole through the puddle light lens housing? Huh... Where do I get that lens??

I thought 05Single fabricated a plate for the LED light..... Maybe I just missed that detail.

He may have. I can't remember exactly. Same thing, really.

My above question " Where do I get that lens?"..... Opps.... Meant to ask, ( Where to get that eagle eye LED bulb )...... But I think I can figure that out......

So, here I am, writing this post ...... for very little reason....

It's a bolt style led. He put the shaft through the existing lens. Then he put them in blue under the truck. Then he put them in the cargo area. Then he used a pair as earrings. Still waiting on the nipple ones....
My nipples are too small. They have the diameter but not the length. I'm pretty pissed about it. Thanks for bringing it up again :nono:

The daylight front is LED ( works great)....Aftermarket tail light, reverse lens is clear so stock bulb very bright ( can't wait to get an LED for that )..... And, Puddle light lens polished clear, using #578 LED 'barrel bulb - frosted' / 6000k / also part called a "212-2 Type ??".....

So many versions of the 578 LED bulb online, hard to know what is actually a brighter light.... The barrel bulbs are only frosted / flat leds should be brighter?
"They describe" the LED "as whiter"..... I want BRIGHTER. Uh, CANBUS? Uh, 'error free'? Sure, but HOW ABOUT LUMINS?????

I think a 'panel style' LED 578 will be brighter for a puddle light, but which one??

I always searched 42mm festoon led bulb. Same as dome lights. Right now I have color changing ones in my dome. I never really cared to get the brightest because hopping into your truck in pitch black and having the dome lights turn into sunlight isn't what I was looking for lol. I ran blue for a long time. I have bright footwell lights and that's what's important for me

I used these. They are a bit wide, so I put them in on an angle, and they turned out exactly parallel to the ground.

They are pretty frigging bright.
