I'd love to do the amber LED bulbs, but I haven't heard yet what ones are good. I've seen so many that are dim compared to incandescent ones. I'd love to see pics of some 'in process' of being changed (one side stock, one side LED) to compare.

Then there is the 'hyperflash' issue...with the lower resistance I don't want the signals to blink like they have ADHD.

Here is the leds I have in my front turnsignals.
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

You'll need to get a new flasher to slow them down

You can get the flasher from autozone or a auto parts place. I'll find the part # for you. The flasher is a PITA to get to. It's under the radio. I removed part of the bottom cover by the floor to get to it. There is a cover over the flasher as well

-Filled her up tonight and only averaged 16.1 mpg. While this is still impressive on winter fuel, I was quite spolied since I'd been averaging 17.4 mpg the last few tanks. I checked my pre-filter and found the problem: sediment. I shined the light on the filter, rotated it, and sediment fell off the filter and rolled to the bottom. I cleaned it up, but pass along this warning: always make sure you fill up at a high volume station that keeps their diesel tanks filled

-Also changed the oil and filter tonight, added Rotella 15w40

Weeks end:
-Fuel filter change

Months end:
-Complete trans and powersteering flush

Robert are your new headlights OEM? If not where did you get them? I want to upgrade to 02-04s but for <$150 if possible.
