OK, it's not a stump from the NW or anything...but for Phoenix it isn't bad.

4LO and that sucker came out like butter!

Best part was the two Ford guys standing out of the picture that said I couldn't do it.

Christian your runner is looking good. It kinda looks like a military jeep.

Military Jeep eh? That's cool. I like those...

Thanks for the props!

Actually I had the same one's on my old 95 Civic SI. I had to buy these on ebay. I got them for $5 or something. I have a write-up in the tech section lee, check it out.

I believe that these offer added safety for "moron-mergers." They see the light, and question what it is. I run orange bulbs. It even provides a very dim side-light for nighttime trail runs...

Cool! Yeah, those would look better. Unlike most people, I like mine to always be on with the parking lights. Some people just use them as blinkers. I think always on is safer, IMO.

Last I checked, after market installation of sidemarkers are an equipment violation in CA unless the vehicle came with them on. Too bad, I think I'd like to have that added safety for lane merging on the freeway...

Nice work there Christian
Any "after" pics?

My older cousin had an Acura Integra that he put on. He got pulled over by the same cop at the same location about them enough times that he learned to travel a different way home from San Diego to visit his parents

Dunno if it's still current law though.
