So the LED headlight / tail light / turn signals / reverse lights is complete. New light assemblies up front are done and pending out back but Amazon sent the wrong thing out of the chute...

[youtube]https://youtu.be/F2lwV83Vauw?si=qOYVZUg2Eb92v9vf[/youtube] The install of the headlight assemblies and plug and play LED conversion bulbs. Complete with struggling to get the tabs to release, and grab again... Sometimes "better ideas" are a pain in the tail...

[youtube]https://youtu.be/vK5X0fInRYc?si=VubG-moqaTgt0LqK[/youtube] Installing the LED bulbs in the existing taillight housings, and the new turn signal housings up front, complete with screw ups...

Tomorrow is getting tires installed, going with Venom Power Terra Hunter XT all terrain tires. Basically they are Chinese off brand copies of the BFGoodrich All Terrain TA KO2. ...and likely swapping battery. I have what appears to be a parasitic draw in that the battery seems to go flat whenever it feels like, but a draw test shows .08amps which could easily be acccounted for by the clock, audio system live memory, and there is no way that should cause the battery go flat overnight. Load testing the battery itself gives me squirrely results, sometimes it looks good, others not so much...

Spent some time crawling around under the van as well, measuring up and trying to figure out how to replace the plumbing system that was ripped out...
