Dazy, if nobody else calls it.. i'll take your INTERIOR LEDs. I can use that to finish off my operation whiteness. They should fit in the few spots i haven't had a chance to put led's in yet... glovebox, vanity mirrors, trunk light, or even license plate light (OMG IT NEVER ENDS!!!).

If they work out... i'll make sure to swing by autozone and pick you up some replacement OEM bulbs.

Is it too late to join the fun? With a little luck I should be in possession of a new exhaust this week....

BigO - I have red LED's inside the car. Will that interfere with your extreme whiteness? I have no pics of reverse lights in action, but I can show you before hand to make sure you still want them. I do remember them being insanely white and bright though.

Toxin - I have one set of stealth turning bulbs available. All I need is a set of stockies to replace them. I *used* to have some extreme white ones for the clear corners, but the idiots at the repair shop gave me stock corners & bulbs instead of clear ones.

Hey Dazy, do I get the bulbs with the clear corners too, or are those the ones that are up for grabs?

Yeah, those red interior lights may not work out... but the reverse lights sound excellent

It sounds like Toxin is referring to the Stealth Bulbs that fit in the clear corners which are size 194/168, but you have the stealth turning bulb which is size 7440.

Doh -- in reading your post again it seems the only set of "stealth" bulbs you have are the actual TURN signal blinky type bulbs... i forgot you had that little wreck and got your clear corners replaced. Seems the stealth turn signal bulbs are spoken for at the moment? well if whoever called dibs on them doensnt happen to show, I'll take them in trade for my stock turn signal oranges if they are already taken... oh well its all good.

Doesn't look like I'll be able to make it. I plan on starting my clutch install around noon on Saturday, so maybe I'll have it done in time to catch you guys for a little while.

And the reason you can't do your clutch install at the party is.... ???

Blue - I'm sending you a PM regarding this.

Reverse lights are going to BigOLundh. I've got stealth turning bulbs that Toxin has called dibs on.

I hope that clarifies...

I have a pretty good tool, jack, and extra part hook up with my cousin. We plan on taking it to his shop. Since he is mechanic, he has a hand full of good tools. I guess we will see how it goes. Thanks guys!

LOL... that rewire is so easy that a girl (namely me) did the rewires for 3 guys at Dragon last year. I'm pretty sure it made for an interesting site to see a bunch of guys standing around watching a chick digging around under the hoods of their cars. Should I drive over and bring you my instructions?

I have never done it before so I am not comfortable doing it. I just knew slim had changed a few in other vehicles. That is kinda why I wanted him to do it at my place so I could learn

Ok... I'll consider it. I have a few things that I need to check on first. I'm not sure that my car will make it over there. That is the main problem I have. I'm sure Josh could bring his work truck over there and I would have plenty of tools.

I plan on taking the starter off today and checking the Fly Wheel. If the flywheel is loose, I am taking it back to the dealership. Otherwise I will proceed with plans for Saturday. I think we have practice pretty early in the morning in Frisco, but I could make it over there around noon*.

*Assuming I am comfortable trying to get the car there.
