anyone know where to get a 3156 bulb with a 35w halogen bulb stuck in it?

Much like these 1156's with the 35w halogen bulbs in them:

Made some headway lately...


Installed adjustable front trackbar which centered up the front springs from the ATS X/Mod C swap. Hopefully that gets rid of the spring "noise". Stock length is 29 1/2" and new length is 30 1/8".


Swapped on an 05' work truck black grille I trimmed to fit. Couldn't find a stock Ex grille and this one was under $50 from Certifit. I like the look much better.


Drained and filled the Tcase with XL-12 Tcase fluid. I have a very small leak at the front seal of the tcase and will monitor it now that it is topped off.


Was able to get the Ex on some accurate racing scales as well. Grand total weight of 7,512#'s. This is an 01' Ex, V10, 285's, storage box in the cargo area (80#'s), 1/4 tank of fuel, third row installed.


the list never ends

Even though this one is similar to my Bentley in theory, it truly is a completely different level of car the msrp on it was $509,750.00 that even blows my mind.
This pic is from Internet ( identical except interior my rental is black ) but I'll snap a few shots of it tomorrow.

Chris these are stock lambo's not really made for quarter mile runs, (although 10.4 secs ain't to shabby) but they will run all day at top speed and truly handle like they are on rails. Can't wait to rent an aventador...

I think they hang down a bit too low for the current ride height/tire size, but once I do the coil spring swap it should sit a bit taller plus I plan on a taller tire.

I have a similar set that I picked up for the same price. Only had to buy hardware. I believe these are 02-04 steps. 05+ are rounder at the edges and the 11+ platinum's have different angles to them.

I have led's in my reverse lights now and want to switch them out for the 35w halogens. I feel the stock bulbs were brighter than these led bulbs.
