Damn, nice job APOC! I just now got to watch the whole video..when you sent it to me, I thought you were just showing that you took off the boards. Looks like you fooled me.
But the question was "what is the part number, and is it still available? That is what I can't find in the tech folder.
It is hard for me to believe there are no more sockets available, but I've seen much stranger things.
I may have a set, I will check tomorrow and let you know if I can get a part number off of them. I opted to do the retro, I had a hard time with the LED bulbs staying seated correctly so they would only work part of the time. Plus the upgrade provides much better lighting.
I am about to put the full package stop techs on all 4 corners just like these tomorrow. Did you have to take out the caliper pin bolts and grease them or are they already greased up and ready to go? I forgot to as the stop tech rep when I called them the other day. Thanks.
Mine were already greased.
Next problem y'all: A wheel stud on my new front powerstop rotor (2wd) is angled a bit and won't let my rim go on... suggestions welcome while I watch videos of how to replace wheel studs.
Angled as in bent or unseated from the rotor? I would try washers and a lugnut to try to pull it straight. If it turns out to be bent, then replace it.

it looks straight, just straight the wrong way =)
I'll try some washers tomorrow.

That sounds like its not fully seated, like MilMachine suggested. Do as he said and stack a few washers on it then a lug nut, then tighten it up hard, that may pull it fully into place and have straight and properly positioned.
I put the "front right" hose on instead. It's even got a not-stripped-out nut at the top end whereas the "front left" had a little box thingy.
I ended up doing the same as you. I put the line labeled right on the left side. It followed the same angle and direction as the old lines I pulled off. They now look like the ones you posted in your second picture.

thanks, will do. Seems like it'll be fun figuring out how to get the rotor to not spin while tightening the lug unless i use an impact gun, which seems like a bad idea.

A few blips with an impact gun won't hurt anything. Just don't keep drilling on it if it isn't moving. I install lug with impact gun when I do them.

I didn't know you only wanted OEM (if I'm understanding you correctly) and that you didn't want to use the same aftermarket parts the different threads listed in the tech folder. Sorry Charly, my misunderstanding.
