What are you going to put in the side markers? The little 194 bulb on the side of the blinkers. Thinking about doing the switchbacks, till i get some full led turns again.

I have a number of paint chips around the truck and was looking I get them touchéd up.. While watching velocity a commercial came up for Dr. Colorchip came up I found it pretty interesting so I researched and the reviews looked pretty good I bought this which handles about 24 chips so here it is....

I just saw the commercial for that yesterday and I was thinking about buying the kit. Let me know how it turns out and I might jump on it too, how much did it run you?

It costed like $68 with shipping and covers an avg. of 24 chips its the biggest kit they sell i believe...Figured its worth a shot i have a couple I'm unhappy with and would try this before trying a shop and spending triple. ill see may not be able to since it is getting cold here as you know.

Once I'm done with the hs conversion I think I'm going to roll into a projector retro but lord only knows what I'll really choose to do :D I also really want to color match my running boards or get Bali ones eventually

cant wait to see the HD front.

Painted boards, ive thought about that, but not sure it would be much diff. on mine. Also thought about denali ones, but dont think they will line up right w/ my flares.

either way, keep us updated, may not post all the time, but im watching your progress
