Hmm. eBay is spotty with things like this, but that's good you got them all from the same place.

I did think about that. Several notes on my install: I was able to use an existing tiny hole in the back of the housing, which originally had a black rubber cap on it. I removed the cap, ran my wiring, and replaced the cap. It still provides excellent protection and probably wouldn't allow water in unless completely submerged. The only other way water might get in was if I didn't do a good enough job sealing the lens back onto the housing, but I'm pretty sure it's just fine. The last precaution was I actually installed the panel on the roof of the housing, so it points down. I also like this because you can't see any of the LEDs through the lens.

Note that I had to remove the wiring for the fog light when I was messing with the license plate lights. The fog light was working just fine up until that point. I have no reason to believe that it is damaged in any way. I just think I need to rewire, which I want to do properly and permanently this time.

All of them were previously installed and worked for several years I have had good luck even with the cheap LEDs on ebay. Even the problems I've had are fixable with a little ingenuity.

IKR!! Luckily, I've found spray paint, which is very accountant/wife-friendly and can satisfy that recurring desire for moar mods. I'm just trying not to go overboard - if I'm not careful, everything on the car inside and outside might wind up KAD

I wouldn't recommend plasti-dipping wheels personally, since it could peel from chipping/debris...
But that's just me...

But that's an easy fix. Peel off and reapply plus you get another mod fix

I don't like repeating the same mod though.. get's old. I want to constantly be improving, not re-doing.
