Re: Creamsicle: My 70 K10 SWB is about to get sweeter

So I found out today that I have another minor setback. My fabricator was sent the wrong tubing material for the exhaust system. It was supposed to be polished 304 stainless, but they sent aluminized steel. His supply company in Texas is paying to have it sent back. They will also pay expedited shipping to send out the correct material. This kind of problem I can live with. I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime I thought I'd update you on some of the other stuff on the build... like my headlights. I decided to go with Dapper Lighting for my headlights. I bought their OE7 version with OE glass lens. They are LED projector headlights in a classic looking glass lens. They claim to give you three times more light then a traditional H4 type conversion while using less power. They also come with daytime running lights, which you can either use or not. I decided to tie the DTRL into my park lights. It's actually pretty bright. Check them out. I highly recommend them.

You can see the DTRL at the bottom of the headlight

My headlight buckets did not require any modification. I rolled back the rubber sleeve and they fit right in. Once they were in, I rolled the rubber protective sleeve back.

I decided to add Weatherpacks to the DTRL.
