Which bulbs do you have for the license plate lights? Those lights be bright.

All of my led bulbs inside and out are now jdmastar brand. Great price and quality, and very bright.

Big things this week, not really lol
Was talking with @Fosscore about adding engine bay lights, figure I beat him to it lol. Added 1 blue led cob strip to the engine bay, same style cob strip as the white light up top. Can see the white really over powers the blue. I plan to add another 2 on the sides. Deciding on either more blue or throw in some red for some diversity lol

On another note I need to figure out what I wanna do with my hoods underside. Put back the stock liner or idk

Need to get back to my roots and solder everything. I never had a garage before now so many convenient things like painting or soldering just wasnt something I could have. Been so use to using connectors and heat shrink I have zero worries about my connections. But we all know solder is the best. So I searched online and just bought this one locally at home depot for $35. Let the fun begin, removing all connectors and reconnecting wires with solder and new heat shrink. Besides it just to cheap not to have. In the end buying hundreds of connectors will cost way more lol.

Still got it. Now I want to practice on some boards. @ScottyBoy can give me some pointers

I love my Weller. I have the big bulky gun style with the trigger and dual temp setting though. Even though it's bulky, it works excellent. Never have to worry about whether or not the solder is going to melt before I cook the wires. I need to get some tips for it though.

Looks good did you tie into a hood pin switch? or just wire to a switch?

Red lights add and even 100hp . Red paint adds 200hp. Just those combined that's almost 400hp

Underhood lights mod adds more HP than OEM motor.

Saves $10k on motor upgrade for less than $50!
