So I needed a couple of sockets for the turn signals that were of a different style than my old front end used. I get the part numbers (Dorman brand) and hit up my local O Reilly Auto Parts. I have a shop account there and get better than normal prices. 8 bucks per each. That's 16 dollars plus tax for a couple of bulb sockets.

So, Rock Auto to the rescue. I had them in 48 hours from time I placed my order. Two of the exact same Dorman part numbers delivered into my hands for 10.20 total instead of the nearly 18 dollars with my price break at the local place.

A little solder, a little heat shrink and it's finally finished.

Much better than where I started with the old single headlight front end and brush guard.

I also wanted to say I appreciate everyone who is reading this thread. I know its kind of mundane right now, but I have to cover the basics to make it solid and reliable first. The cool stuff is coming I promise.
