MIke,

I think we should do this !!!!!!!!!!

fine, I dont mind, but how are we going to test the LED's if they are positioned correctly?

And where can we get these LED's?


I'm sure its easier than the F'ing eyebrows.. speaking of which, my headlight has condensation in it!! BS! man!! it wont dry up either.

stinks...

Looks great, very tempting. I might have to go scavenging around some Chicago area junkyards for a spare cluster.
