Us northerners actually know what its like to have a dirty car! Seriously I just washed my car, my dads truck, and my moms van. They drove theirs to work, and it came home full of bird **** and sap and dust. It sucks living on a dirt road

sleepyalero · 11-15-2013, 03:38 PM

ahh sap is terrible for paint.

Does it make the paint peel off or what?

Got bored of my 3ks and decided to go a more unique route and get some amber LEDs for the fog lights. I saw this combo on a mustang and I loved how the fog lights matched the turn signals, I don't know why. I understand it makes the fogs useless but I can still see perfectly well without them

, plus if you look at the positives I won't "blind" people, I won't have to wait in between turning them on and off, I can use my brights, not as much heat produced, and it won't melt the lens.

Just need to get new fog light housings, mine are old and nasty looking anyway. This is making me want to get amber LED front turn signals, these make my amber incandescents look washed out

as you'll see by the second picture.

TruGreenGAGT · 11-15-2013, 08:15 PM

So you want me to make a set of high power amber led fogs now... haha

TDavis · 11-15-2013, 08:18 PM

Well honestly I don't feel comfortable paying $100+ for some fog lights

, but if I did end up wanting some these are a placeholder for now.

But I'm glad I know what "amber" is considered now, which is orange, not the golden yellow that I originally wanted in the past.

bricooper78 · 11-15-2013, 08:26 PM

100 bucks for a custom car part is cheap bubba! but anyways, they're BRIIIIIIIIGHT and so worth it!
I keep thinking something's wrong with the truck's headlights, i've gotten used to the led light off the car, and the HID from the sorento, the truck looks like it's got yellow headlights

TDavis · 11-15-2013, 08:45 PM

Oh I understand, but this will do for now

What I was trying to refer to was people say they got amber fogs and yet you'll look at it and it'll be pure yellow. Not orange

Like TruGreen said he could make some Amber ones for me but I kept saying amber isn't the "golden yellow" that I originally wanted.

sleepyalero · 11-16-2013, 12:14 AM

Gotcha. Get more front end night shots please. Of like the whole front end. I need more of a perspective on these...

TDavis · 11-16-2013, 09:30 AM

Would have to get a pic during a cloudy day like today or something, took one last night but was too saturated to get a good look.

+ sap makes the car look ugly. I like to keep my white car white, not yellow. Lol

sleepyalero · 11-16-2013, 03:30 PM

I like mine a shiny black.

My moms van is tan so it doesn't show up except for on the windows and the headlights. Dads truck is dark a blue and tan two tone, and his looks awful when it is full of sap.

Me too but it never stays that way anymore. The semi trucks and combines are harvesting their fields so that makes your car a dust demon when it sits outside.

Best pic I could get, doesn't do justice. Might be ordering amber LED front turn signals, annoys me that my upper ones look washed out
