Few Exterior Pics (not 56k friendly)

To go with the inside shots from the interior forum....

OEM yellow corners & OEM headlights.




New clear corners & new headlights.

One with the parking lights on.



New mini lights under front bumper (along with roadkill stuck to valance).

I still need to put some wire loom around the wires on the lights & adjust them better, but they work for now.
The mini light wire loom is zip tied to some ultra adhesive zip tie pads stuck to the back side of that black plastic thing behind the lights.
You can see a glimpse of the loom on the right side if you look closely.
I don't know what kind of adhesive is on those pads, but I couldn't pull one off with a set of pliers.
No pics of wiring... I didn't feel like crawling under the truck today


Backup lights & exhaust tips.



I've since moved the backup lights outwards a little & adjusted them outwards more.
Also painted those mostly chrome license plate lights black to match the roll pan.

Hopefully, the jolly fat man in red will bring me a set of 3156 63 LED's to drop in place of my OEM reverse bulbs.

Also swapped the 3rd brake light bulbs with 9 LED 906's. Two white 9 LED bulbs for the cargo lights, one red 9 LED for the brake light.
No pics here either, darn batteries!
The single 9 LED surprised me at the amount of light it puts out, same with those white 9 LED's.

There's been another change to the back end, but you'll have to wait until warmer weather for pics.... and maybe even a video!
