    I finally finished posting all the photos on our bus. I think everthing went well. I decided to add 5 more tail lights above the PREVOST sign on the back. Let me know where and if I should add more... or take some off!

    Its been a fun project. You can check them out at http://midwestleds.com/lights

    Dale really nice improvement and very well done as well.

    The new additional lites across the top of the doors look fine.

    Having both the same year bus and also purchased (limited) some LED stuff for the truck I'm curious. How much do $ you have invested in the lights.

    WE bought our stuff for the truck some time ago when they first came out and I know the price has come down some.

    Joe,

    Those LED guys will never admit how much they have invested in their bling. First of all the invested amount exceeds the cost of a new coach, and secondly, if momma ever found out how much they were spending and not getting anything for it (a light is a light is a light).....well you know what I mean.

    The anti LED man.

    None yet, Joe. So far I am dodging that bullet.

    If I have to change a light bulb every now and then, it is worth it to be able to break some chops.

    In a year or two these guys will change back to the retro look.

    That was no easy job and it looks great. An awful lot of hard work was done but you must have a lot of experience on this sort of project.

    You'll be right up front doing the "show and tell" thingie at POGIII.

    Don't listen to Jon about LED's.

    When the Rural Electrification Act came in during the 1930's in New York State, he fought it tooth and nail.

    Records indicate that he said, "I'm not gonna let the government know how much power MY factory uses!" It is said that he was the last to give up the water wheel (drought year).

    Do what you want. BTW most over-the-road truck trailers are going LED as incandescent replacement is about 10X that of LEDs.
