I changed the reverse lights , third brake light bulbs to LED. I used a RED Led for the third brake light bulb. A nice low priced upgrade !

It really doesn‘t. Congrats or the led addiction. Your headlights and if you have fog lights will drastically improve. Run Yourself some led lights. It’s totally worth it!

Used it as a parts runner.

Bought my wife a '07 Trailblazer. Knew that the brakes had to be worked.

Trip #1: Got new pads and Rotors.

Trip #2: First the front driver. When I went to get the caliper bracket off to get to the rotor, SNAP! Off I go for new caliper. Get home, swap it out and I forgot 1-man bleeder kit.
Run off and get it and fluid.

Trip #3: Passenger side, get it apart and one of the piston seals was ripped. Need caliper #2. Off I go

Trip #4: Went to start on the back and BOTH had 1 bracket bolt that that would not come out. Pads only, rotor measured good. Return rear rotors and get $$$ back for the caliper cores.

Trip #5: Time to break-in the pads. About 2 min into it, Check Engine light comes on.

Trip #6: Headed home, got out the code reader and reset

Trip #7: Now it's midnight 30. Out to bed the pads again. After gas & bedding, get home 0150.


Each trip is 40 miles (both ways)

They only scatter the light if the wrong led bulbs are used or the right o Ed aren’t adjusted properly. You need ones that can be adjusted to a 9&3 position so that the chips are are facing east n west.

I have quads and Fahren LED’s, they are amazing.
Thanks. I looked them up and not too bad a price !
Are they plug and play ?
Any codes?
Do they fit just like the stock bulbs and do not have to leave the access door off ?

Thanks

Sounds like my typical plumbing project.

es
I was thinking the same! When I got the house I'm in now it sat empty for about a year and froze all the kitchen plumping and busted it all. Even the main shutoff split the housing of the ball valve. Luckily the hardware store is less than 2 miles away. I spent my fair share of time running back and forth.

My Ram got dropped off at the shop for it's appointment for full detail, paint correction and ceramic coat. Also having him work out as much of the dent in the bedside. He estimated $250 to PDR as much as he could. Said it probably wouldn't be perfect since it's right in the wheel well opening but he'd do everything he could.

Now I'm left with my Cruze for a couple days. Went to put brakes on it, ordered PowerStop rotors and pads for all 4 corners ahead of time. Only to have lost the socket for the spline drive lugnuts I put on it last year. Luckily I don't travel much right now. Because at least the left front is completely thru the pad and into the backing plate. Hopefully I find the socket tomorrow after work.

OK so some can be adjusted. Good to know, I would assume they say that on the package ! Thanks
