I learned to play the guitar using Jimmy Page riffs :icon17:

I am certainly no Jimmy Page, but I'd like to think that both of us sound a little better than the audio track of a neighborhood cat fight :bowrofl: One thing that really helped my guitar play was a 12 string acoustic with electric pick up. As long as it was in tune, just strumming chords in random sequence was incredibly melodious :tup:

That is one type of guitar I don't own. No 12 strings. I do own several of almost every other kind though. The latest is a nice Breedlove acoustic I bought nearly 2 years ago. Not vintage, but still a thing of beauty.

It was a gift :tup: I decided long ago (when I was friends with people much more musically talented than I), that I would spend money on musical instruments only in proportion to my talent. I bought a cheap amp and some picks :bowrofl:

Was leaving my friend's house and chatting about my Z fog light with another friend when I noticed that my brand new license plate LEDs were not working :ugh2: The single wires aren't making good contact, so I guess I'm gonna put in the stock bulbs again until I can figure out a cheap modification to fix the problem.

Ugh, that blows. Where did you pick 'em up at? Was it that DIY link that AK put up in his LED thread?

I'm very interested. Are you doing a fang delete?

Ebay - get whatcha pay fer :ugh2: I've got another style that I could try that might work better, but I think I'm just going to try glue some small metal plates to the plastic connector and then solder the wiring to the metal plates for a much larger contact surface area :tup:

Because of my fat fingers, I actually find them easier :ugh2: :icon17:

No! I love my fangs :tup: It would be in lieu of the horizontal black pieces between the fangs. I can install the grill on the back side of the bumper behind those pieces, but I think I have to permanently cut them out if I want them gone.

JARblue 02-17-2013 11:57 PM

In reverting my license plate bulbs back to stock, I had to mess with my ghetto Z fog light wiring. I tried to do a better job with the wiring, but noooooooo... long story short, now I can't get it working at all :crying: I guess this is my excuse to take it apart and add more lights :icon17:

TerribleONE 02-17-2013 11:58 PM

why are you putting them back to stock? Iv been meaning to order LED license plate bulbs and reverse lights..
