Adjustable angle reverse camera. Did lots of research and I figured it out lol. Purple with white stripe spliced to red wire coming off the rca plug. Red and black wires at the other end of the harness by the camera is hooked up to reverse light in the tail. As of now camera not mounted cause I have no rear bumper atm.
Did more research and figured out the dvd bypass, green wire hooked to a toggle switch. Then black wire from toggle to ground.

All common knowledge and not new, just figure I'd share cause I didn't know. First time hooking up both reverse camera and dvd bypass. Pretty easy stuff.

Finally got pulled over for my blue underglow. Cop said "I pulled you over for your ground effects"
Lol he said ground effects?
I said sorry forgot they were on and hit the switch to turn them off.

Then he got a call for shots fired, he told me to have a good day and he ran back to his car. Was like in the movies ...

Got some anzo parking lights.
Usually condensation occurs because of bad seal between the lights socket and the seat where the socket plugs into on the housing (Some lights just have a crappy seal around the lens and need an extra bead). I used a sticky back foam sheet from Michaels craft store to use as a seal on the sockets. So far no condensation. Used the existing round stickers that came on the lights as templates then cut them out. Made for a very tight fit and good seal. Out with the old

Switchbacks looks great in these housings. Cob 194 side marker light is insane bright. And obviously the crystal clear lens gives an updated look. Now need new heads.

It was, and it was on a Friday night lol. I wasn't worried, haven't had a ticket or pulled over in years. Just testing my luck, saw he was a unmarked car and still passed him doing 4mph over.

Hell around here they don't pull you over unless you're 15 over. I've passed radar traps doing 10 over several times and never been pulled over.

Got some other lights in the mail. Had a plan to pull a switcharoo with the clear lens and the factory housings. Haven't sealed them up yet. But here's some ideas. Baked both sets open. The aftermarket set definately had very poor sealing around the lens like ive stated before.....Like seriously half had sealant around half had none at all. But they're the cheaper ebay version for our trucks so it was expected. Opened both lights in less than 10 minutes lol, oem lights took a little longer.

Not a fan of these aftermarket styles with all the lines and squares, too blingy for me(still better than stock). That's why I'll trade lenses. First time I've seen a clear lens on a oem nbs tahoe turn signal.
You can see what the aftermarket housing looks like with the stock fluted lens.

Side projects (cause it's my thread and I can put whatever I want in it [emoji13] )

While the oven was hot and ready and i was on a roll, I did a few extra lights. Making custom markers for the wife's car (nobody makes them) and then cleared a set of heads and 2 sets of turns for my cousins silverado. Played with some projectors I had laying around.
None finished, still making custom clear lenses for the wife's car and deciding on how we wanna do the lights for my cousins truck. All black? Dual projectors ? Bixenons? Colormorph halos? Custom brackets? Exc...
