What are the lights you got and where did you get them??

If I remember correctly they are just standard led ribbon lights. Search led roll in amazon or eBay and you should be able to buy them by the foot then you can cut them to whatever length you need

Thank you a meet would definitely be cool. Your in the western part of the state right? I met another guy from my area over on lightning rodder the other day. He would probably be cool with a meet too. Im actually meeting up with him on Monday so he can show me his L swap. An engine build is coming in the next year or so.

L swaps aren't bad, I could probably install one in a day now that ive played around with my for so long. Turbos on the other hand are a PITA in our enginge bay.

Gotcha. I'll actually be up in Halifax this weekend at my grandparents to go turkey hunting. I'm not sure if that's near your or not.

I considered turbos for about 5 minutes then I read about some of the builds and decided against it lol. I would do a swap now of I had the cash, that's the only thing holding me back. I have been thinking about doing a swap on my truck now how it sits and just running low boost until I can built a new engine and the trans. I'm thinking it's probably not a good idea tho, even at 8 or 6 pounds I bet the trans would go in quick order. The engine has 180k on it and the trans has a little over 100.

Here's the pics of just the reverse pods. I haven't got the ones in the tool box wired up yet I have been to busy.

That garage is about 50 yards away. I need to aim the lights up a little big more. I also got some pics of the rest of my setup. Here's both sets of retros on high beam . Just the 7 inch hids behind the grill
Just the led cubes beside the license plate. And everything oneverything on again

Been super busy and all the electrical stuff on the truck has been torn out again lol. I did get some Hella 500ffs and put hids in them so hopefully they will go on the truck tonight. Just depends on if the epoxy has dried. this was taken with on of the Hellas on with the hid bulb in my Garage last night with no other lights on. Also I'll be ordering the rest of my wire for the big 3 on pay day next week and hopefully getting the rest of the stuff for that cooler then to. Then onto the interior lol the dash needs repainted so I'll probably be stripping the whole dash and painting that soon as well.
