I have several boxes of different LED's and just decided to do the swap. I put in white for the illumination and green for the turnsignals, blue for the highbeams, etc. I have red, green, blue and white in my boxes, so if I don't like the way this turns out, I can change the bulbs to whatever colors I want to try. I ordered some purple the other day, so when those get here, I may have to try them for the white's. Those are coming from eBay. Just thinking down the road. lol

I had terrible luck with eBay LED's and wound up going back to incandescent bulbs. My dash looked like I had a damn light show going on. Hopefully you have better luck.

I've been using one eBay company from China from about 8 years. I've never had a problem with theirs at all. Other's have had complaints, but not this one. I use a lot of these in Ambient lighting, and other strip types. Like I said, I just hate having to mark the sides to know what side is positive. If not, half the time they are in backwards and not working. lol

Partsbox on eBay as well a JTechnow for my most recent purchases. The big seller I use has gotten slow on shipping so I've gone to these sellers. They are carrying the same units, just faster shipping.

Got the old girl out and cleaned her up with my new Ryobi pressure washer..... then took a couple pics. It's 63 degrees out, so... what the hay, right?

I love the way that these RB Teal trucks look when they get cleaned up and have the argent bottom stripe and fender trim. Is your bottom color darker than stock or is it just the picture?

I'm surprised how much the snow melted in such a short time.

Thanks AK! It is my favorite paint scheme on these trucks. I know where an 99-03 is with the same colors.... good gravy that thing is sexy. And yes you are correct, the PO put the darker color on it. I have a can of it, but I had to have it custom matched (by eye) to get it. I am thinking about getting some rhino lining in a close color for after the bodywork.

It's a powerful little bugger. I'm sure you've got one with a 12hp Briggs on it? LOL
