Good job, Grandpa! Nice paint jobs, too.

Any help from Grandma?

Call me a Luddite if you wish, but I don't think I could trust a car that can slam on the brakes, without my participation in the decision.

Added outside led's to our trailer. Two bulbs had burned out so I thought I'd try led's instead.
1156 replacement bulbs and 921/924 wedge bulbs.






Now will have to test to see if these give me sufficient light, using a tenth of the wattage.

Might try some tin foil or like wise shiney material to try and reflect that dead light shineing on that dull houseing.

Nice thought. Might even take some aluminum polishing compound and see if I can brighten that base up a bit. Thanks.

Are those the tail/stop/turn bulbs?

Separate bulbs?
