      100%! I’ve thought about doing the speedo, but I like the colours there for now. I have white LEDs throughout the rest of the truck that add so much light output! Thanks for stopping by my friend!

  • @asalazar40
    @asalazar40 7 месяцев назад +2

    I used the same parts but found that the led bulb wires would break and once in the groves prevented the bulbs from sitting flush and no longer locked into place. The grey based bulbs have small fragile copper sleeves that break rending the bulbs useless.
