SMOKE TIRES NOT DRUGS

I just bench tested it in my garage with the lights off and it isn't as bad as you would think. I figured the whole lense would light up, but it really doesn't.

Tomorrow I'm going to start putting the interior back into my car, so I will get some completed pics by the weekend.....hopefully lol

I went out and took some, but you can't see where the hole was drilled, just where the wires come up through. I could take the cluster apart, but I don't really don't want to again.

That is pretty sharp and a great idea! ... You could always throw some NightShade on the lights if they were too obnoxious. This would also make them pretty unnoticeable if not lit. Just a thought.

Already thought about that lol, I'm just going to rock it and see how it is before I darken it up.

Thanks

Nice job, looks clean! Just something to consider with putting the MSD box in your glove compartment. They get pretty hot and there's no airflow in there. Some people have had issues with them failing, heat kills electronics. On the same note I'm sure there are several people using them there without any issues, I know I've seen them in there on other cars.

I'm planning on adding a small computer fan and drilling a bunch of holes in the glove box for aided cooling. My brother has run a MSD 6AL box in the gutted glove box of his S10 for years without any problems. Thanks for the heads up though, I appreciate that

my 6al is in my glove box... has been since 2005 ish.

we made an aluminum base and spaced it 1/2" off of the base so air can travel around it. And on queationable...or warm days... i just ride with the gb open.

I like it in there...protected. If u want pics...lemme knowm
