LED Tail Lights - Let the Bling Begin

[Jerry Winchester]

In an effort to induce MangoMike into coming to Sante Fe (he is weak and the trip involves a lot of windshield time), the bling gauntlet is being cast down.

The replacement of all the 1156 / 67 bulbs in the tail, turn and stop lights with LED has begun. The parts have been ordered and photos will be taken.

Here are the lights.

Red


Yellow


Tail


I may even replace the lights in the engine compartment with some of these;

Amp draw should be so low now I can sell power to Lew.

No one can out bling the bling monster.

Right Fast Roger?

Alexandria to Sante Fe = 1880 miles, but who's counting.

But you won't need the Toaster. Coloradobus can haul us around

Something the matter with your tail light bulbs?

Apparently the old adage "if it won't go, chrome it" has been replaced with "if it won't go, light it up".

When you kids get through spending your candy money and think you have it all together, let me know. If you really do a good job I may respond by showing you how to really dress up a coach with lights. But I'm not going to waste my time unless there is a real challenge. The only down side is now I will have to drive in the dark if I do feel compelled to show you how it is done.

Chrome won't get you home! Hey Jon, explain to me the BFD in all these LED's changing out the OEM's by all these BW's? When nightime comes, the only noises from the bus is snoring, not big tires going round and round, so why the light changes.

OK, Tom is the only person ever to enter SC. Just look at the way he is writing!

He went from an SOB to MPD, XLI, stainless 302, DD/Allison, NOOB; (btw), POG1 attendee and now about to CIC of GA POG, headed for OSH if WX is VFR.

Whew!

Talk about some guys on the "foreskin" and not the leading edge of technology. I'm looking to have a "better" coach, not a "restored" one.

LED Lights

• No bulbs to break or burn out
• No corrosion to mess with
• No fading or cracking
• Brighter light
• Less voltage draw
• Cheaper than carbon arc lights
• Why do they put them on new units? Cuz they look cool?
• Keeps Jon up at night when he parks between MangoMike and JDUB

We'll leave this bling to Tom and Roger.

Post the dollars spent on LED bling. Then invite Rae and Donna to read the post.

Then break out the checkbook and pen and write checks of equal size for the purchase of lady bling. Lady bling doesn't light up, but it sparkles.

As to that list of reasons why to install LEDs, you are wasting your time. It is Rae that needs to be convinced. BTW, my bling cost me a few bucks for Tractor Supply green.

Ooh boy, were can I get that chrome piece to get me home?

JW: I like Bling, big cars, fried chicken and one pretty white women. Sometimes I eat watermelon. I drive alot at night so if the LedS LOOK GOOD save power i could be in. Send Pictures after installation.

Other news--I recently encountered a solid stationary object with my passenger side rear window awning. I have since made the necessary repairs and and was going to remount it last night, but discovered the flex key(the fabric with plastic spline that holds the awining to the coach was so rotten I could not use it. Mine are Zip Dee and the new stuff is ordered at $3.00 A FOOT. I am considering replacing all of it on all awnings cause it may turn loose at the wrong time.
Anyone else checked their awning flex keys?
Roger That!
