Forgot about my led fog lights. Lol. Before and after. Did those in May. Got them from xenondepot and I love them.

 

[adventurenali92]

Also I ordered a hydro dipping kit this afternoon and some new led running lights cuz my current strips are dying lol. More to do haha.

Fogs are bright. Liking the updates.

Your Denali is looking better and better. Keep up the good work. When you love something it feels good to fix it up or even to just do maintenance.

 

[adventurenali92]

Yeah I love replacing stuff especially being able,to do it myself. Gotta do brakes this weekend before I head to Vegas next week.

 

[Fosscore]

Wait til after Vegas. Wilwoods!!

 

[adventurenali92]

I'm not at the end of my brakes but I'd much rather they be done before I go because this is my first road trip by myself. And I don't want to have anything to worry about on my trip. So I'm just getting them done now and then I won't have to worry about them til after the ski season.

 

[Fosscore]

Yeah that drive into Vegas is worth having good brakes.

I love being able to add to my build thread often! Lol. Anyways, having fun with wires currently... Not! I hate wires! Had put some led strips in between my headlights and chrome grill piece summer of 2015 after I bought it. Well they were cheap and a lot of them burned out fast. In addition, the little strip trapped so much water every time I washed my Denali. So they were getting to be a pain. So I found a different style in eBay this time, incased in a cool little flexible rubber tube. So those are getting out on this afternoon. Letting the adhesive dry so I can put everything back together at the moment. But had to figure out how to wire them in properly. I'm slightly off, as the white and Amber came out backwards. But that's ok as I'm super proud of,myself for getting all the wires connected back together properly and all my oem running lights and turn signals work the way they are supposed to and the new leds work as well! Here's a pic of the old led strips. Will get shots of the new ones once I put everything back together as well as some shots of the new lights this evening when the done starts going down. The before pics are actually from last summer. So that bumper and lower piece have also been changed. I just forgot to take pics of the old led strips this afternoon before I started. Hahah

 

[adventurenali92]

Everything put back together. I think the leds need to be bigger but I like them So far. Will get some evening shots with them kicked in in a bit.

 

[Rocket Man]

They make longer ones that you can cut to length.

 

[adventurenali92]

The ones I bought are 30cm long and the make 60cm ones too.

 

[Rocket Man]

Can you cut them to length? I think they would look sweet if they extended the full length of your headlights.

 

[adventurenali92]

The ones I got are not meant to cut as that would cut into the wires. I think,it I slid them over a bit and put two together that are the same length they will look a lot better.

 

[adventurenali92]

Brakes are getting done now. My,buddy is also gonna Get that stupid stripped hex screw out to swap,out my shift handle. While I was doing projects this week I redyed the leather portion of the esky shift handle I bought with lighter tan leather and it looks fantastic. So that should be able to go in this afternoon after he finishes brakes.

Gotta let us know how the dye holds up .What kind did you use? Use an adhesion promoter ?

 

[adventurenali92]

I used a brand called classic coat. And I used there adhesion promoter as well.
