Spray Painting Random Plastic Interior Pieces
I had a car when I was younger, and painted some interior plastic. I thought it looked custom cool. :cool: Now I feel I've grown a bit since then. Looking back at it, it was just a horrible idea....

Re: How to convert 3-Bulb tails to a 2-Bulb set up.
Just went back to the 3 bulb set up. My third time taking the truck for a drive, since I did this (truck's not a daily driver, maybe once a month) the flasher got stuck. Signals would just stay on. ...

I honestly don't remember if it's heavy duty. Just that it's an EP27 flasher. I'm thinking that it might have something to do with a lack of grounding somewhere. Like maybe I need to hook the ground...

Re: How to convert 3-Bulb tails to a 2-Bulb set up.
Yeah, my lights seem to do the correct operations.
