    The half project (.5) is to be done for sure, last two items can be done at another time.

    .5 Caliper pin lube for rear tires.
    1. LED strips around headlights, there's barely enough space for the strips but front bumper has to be undone for this.
    2. Underbody LED strips w/some type of power button installed on left instrument dash.

    I think underbody LED is illegal from what I’ve read somewhere.

    I got passed the other night by a lifted F-250 that was all lit up underneath:cool:.

    He didn’t seem concerned or was ok with it as his tailpipe was at least 24” in diameter:eek:.

    I “admired” as he coal rolled past me;).

    Can our next meetup be at your palatial garage in Dublin:whistle:?

    I found some info on the d o t ca page that no red color to be used underneath. Other colors are legal but they cannot strobe, be flashing, flicker and no bulbs/leds should be seen directly so only glow effect. And a certain amount of X candlelight power can't be exceed. I think either way, I'll get a ticket no matter what

    Today was foggy driving up north 99, there were ford pickup trucks with their flood led bars on full blast aimed at drivers. Visabity was about 50ft, but 0 ft with oncoming flood led bars.

    I noticed that also. Walmart has those kits readily available so any truck owners can do it.

    My current project, 4' COB strip led with sequential turn signals will return the favor back.
