While back I did 6k LED high and low beams + fogs. next up was the parking/turn signal bulbs, but first I needed some resistors.
went the the junkyard and grabbed 4 sets of GM evap plugs (male + Female side)
Then I built a bracket and installed the resistors to it.
Here it is all loomed up with the connector on (1 bracket assembly per side)

harness soldered to headlight side (this makes for very easy removal of headlights or replacement of faulty resistors)

Thats how it sits today, winter up here in Canada will be here soon and the truck will be parked, so much more to come this winter.
As I said turbo may be in the forecast, Right now I have a larger trans cooler in the mail in preparation for a higher stall speed.
Oh and to got these too I like em but I think they may have an appointment for some blue powder coating.

Glad to see you're drinking quality beer.... and a 15 pack?? wtf

Thanks man! Something has to help pay for all these parts so keystone it is!
Do you guys not have 15 packs in the states?

iTrader: (3)

Nice build! I love what you did with the front bumper and grill.

Nope! 6 packs 12 packs 18 packs and 30 packs.

Our percentage of alcohol is also higher by volume too.

I think the 15 pack is like around $40 up there where as its only 1/2 that in the states.

I know Canada taxes alcohol and cigarettes heavily up there to pay for the free health care.

Chew is like $20 up there and in some states down here it's only $2.50, in others it as much as $5.00, Same with cigarettes. you also have a bunch of tax and warning stickers on them that we don't have.
