Thanks man! Means a LOT coming from a veteran on here like you man. Especially with this being my first truck and I only started really modding about 8 months ago.
As an update if anyone is following my headlight build, they are all done except for the CCFL type turn signal strip.
Still tweeking and working on it.
Had to get some smaller leds to fit into the tube itself to try and get more light.
As a last ditch effort I went online and found a 24 inch strip that serves as a switchback. I just wont connect the white drl function. What I will do, however, is power the ambers on a little different than usual.
Ground to ground of course, but for power I will have two wires going to them-
One going from the turn signal constant circuit- dim - that will go from power to a diode to about a 510 ohm resister(this may change depending how much of a difference I want it to be) and then to the power for the strip
Then I will have the power going from the turn signal itself- brighter when signals are on - that will go from power to diode to power wire for the strip. This way, I will protect the entire system with the diode, and I will be able to use it how I want to
One thing I have noticed though, since my build began, more and more people are coming to me asking for lighting and other mods like other custom sets of lights like this. Which to me is absolutely awesome- I love doing this and whats great is I can make money at the same time this way.
