Looks very utilitarian. Not what I'd do on mine, but fine for a trail rig. I put in the LED set from Musclerodz.com. Of course, you can't get them at the local parts store.
got everything wired in now. Need to get a different flasher though for the less draw

Man! I'm telling you I like this build more & more every time I check in on it! 
Where did you get those LED's from? I saw some at wlamart last night, but they only had one strip of the big LED's in them. They'd probably be OK for the sides, but I like the three rows you have for the back.
I'm thinking of cutting out the housing behind the lens. That way, it still looks the same, but has the LED safety & coolness factor built in.
Good job!

Why not buy the ones we carry that are a direct bolt in for $60 and never have to replace them again? No need for new flasher units unless you are running other led's.BUDDY said:Man! I'm telling you I like this build more & more every time I check in on it!
