I don’t remember who turned me into these door panel led assemblies but I finally scooped them off my Amazon list into my shopping cart yesterday and they were just delivered. Way nicer than the stock ones even with led bulbs. Better looking, no stupid red reflector and better output. Not bad for a $40 upgrade for all 4.

What did you think of the light output at night? Night pictures don't do justice right.

I haven’t checked yet. I also installed led strip lights on the undersides of the doors connected to the dome lights so when you open a door it lights up the ground. I did that a couple years ago. I’ll get a night shot.

I would like to see a couple of night time pics if possible.

DUDE!! Those door lamp assemblies are awesome!! I just ordered a set since my drivers door light is broken and doesn’t stay in its place in the door! Cheap easy upgrade! Are they plug and play with the factory wiring for the courtesy lights in the door? Or did they take any wiring modification?

They just plug right in. Super easy.

Been tossing around the idea of buying a boat again after I sell my bike. Something less dangerous than riding a bike on the streets but still fun. I used to have a jet boat with a 460 Ford with a 6-71 blower that I built the engine for, back in the 80’s. I have always wanted a v-drive though ever since that boat. Fast off the line and I like how they look with the engines mounted backwards. Just bad a** boats. This one just sold near me for $8500. They can be real expensive but I think I can find one I like for under $10k. I would just use it on occasion to go out when the water is flat and there aren’t a bunch of other boats. Which would be easy now that im retired. I want one with either a BBC or if I could maybe find one with no motor and see about doing an LS turbo build. @randeez ’s motor would be perfect in one.
