I did a thing.

[sly]

Had to install one resister per side. Under just battery power, the flasher wouldn't trigger the blinkers. Hazards work fine though. With the resistor though, no issues at all.

That's freakin awesome!!!

LED conversion... DAYUM! These are good and bright. Very good infill too.

Converted the tail lights, reverse lights, and blinkers to LED. Using an EL-12 flasher so no resisters are needed. LED bulbs are by Auxito. The 3157 ambers for the blinkers and reds for the tails are very nice. The 912 for the reverse lights are okay. They are a little brighter, but nowhere near the difference as the 3157 style. Now I "should" have less issues with other drivers seeing my signals.

I really like having the 3rd light on each side. That much more light up the night/day and get people to notice me senpai.

I have always liked sequentials. Looks great.

Sequential mod done. Was a little more splicing than I originally thought it was going to be, but it's very effective.

Used the plug and play 96-2004 Mustang harness from Raxiom. Spliced out the sequential parts from the harness and spliced that into the crown vic harness. This should work on any 92-94 Crown Victoria. Maybe to 97 if the inner light is also a 3-wire socket that only uses 2 wires.

It's held on with double sided foam tape and hot glue. It's good from far, but far from good. Also, I do not have the fabrication skills required to french those things into the chrome just exposing the LED area, which would have been preferred - and f'n awesome, but I digress. It is functional though.

Night shot!

[Tiggie]

Very nice

Oh hell yeah. That is sweet! Big smile on my face. Nice job. Looks great.

Lots of small adjustments to the shift tune and I think I've got it pretty well dial in now. Been driving around for a couple of months with no overtly hard shifts like before, so that's good. Still chirps 1-2 when turning. That probably has more to do with the tight ass (3.55 limited slip 8-pack F150 carrier).

Also completed the amber blinker addition to the tail lights. I also noticed that all 3 brake/park/turn lights are 3 wire bulb sockets, but the inner ones only have 2 wires run to them. This is probably compatible with the 96 mustang sequential harness. I may get a set and try that next. Should be plug and play except for the reverse light sockets, but that's an easy splice.

Got a valve body from Eric and put it in my 93. Solved all the shifting issues and really sits you down with the shifts now. Seems much happier too. Shifts firm but doesn't bang now (except 1-2 when romping on it - that one kicks hard).

Dorman pan for the updated filter and drain.
Gonna be a bit before all the fall-over burns off of the cat heat shields.

Nice sticker.

I like the cardboard staples. Those suckers are STRONG.
