Painted my turn signal bulbs metallic silver... screw paying $90 for Invisibulbs lol. I'm assuming that you have to take the entire headlight out to get to the front corner bulb. So I'll probably do the fronts in the next couple days. Huge difference though, and yes they still blink the same brightness as before.

Pulsing/ vibration feel... Was there a noise and was it speed related?
At high speeds... 83+ mph I get a pulsing noise and vibration. I think it's more related to my torque converter taking a crap but, this has attention!

not realy any noise
just a wierd up and down vibration/pulse that happened @ certain speeds/engine load over 40km/hr more/less @ certain speeds

i could feel it in the steering wheel aswell when i turned left and right it would pulse/vibrate with the slightest movement
