Thanks man! I really like the look of the halogens that are already fogged, but that involves splicing wires which would lead to a severe electrical burn for me. And these look really aggressive. I was thinking about how to make my parking lights blue as well, and the only way I could think of to do that was LEDs'. Any thoughts about this? Too much work for such a little detail?

99gtstang that Mustang is beautiful. I mean it is VERY nice. Can you elaborate more on the plasti dip horse? Did you just wet sand, prime, paint, clear and done? Forgive me I know nothing about paint haha.

Thanks

The horse comes out. Don't break the pins or lose the "rings" that hold the horse on. I removed the grill first to make it easy.

First I painted and put on a few layers of clear coat. Too shiny.

Plasti dip is very simple. Prep = clean it very well. No primer or sanding required. Spray several layers and take time in between. There's not really much to it. If you don't like you can peel off and try again. That's the nice part of plasti dip.

GTS; google that **** - watch some youtube videos first. Anyone can do it and like I said you can peel off if you do not like.

You couldn't have answered my question any better. Thanks.
