My Ride: A Car
Okay, I took the eyebrow out. It took me about 15 minutes to remove. I developed a new way to go at it and it's very easy 
Nice clean opening and cuts. However, I am stuck now. These LCI SMDs are not ANYTHING like the pre-LCIs. The soldering spots are so small and clean. I'm not sure on how to even desolder them off. Well, I'll be working with nigxdoof to look for a solution for u LCI folks. Problem is, I can't even find LEDs for them.
Here's the pix then I;m going back to sleep for a couple hours:
Back to sleep. dont wake me up until 2 hours later
