Coobies5, i know this is random but, is your cab drowned out by your exhaust noise? Bc ive wanted to get my exhaus to come out right there but im afraid of how loud it will be in the cab.

it does drone, but i put 2 layers of sound deadener on the back wall and it help reduce it a little. but, i love the side exit style and i dont mind it, looks great with 3" tips coming out the side, thats for sure!

hey Im trying to do this mod and I'm trying to remove my headlight switch, but I dont have fog lights so I can not pull the knob out as if I had them and get the screwdriver underneath. Is it the same concept even though I dont have fogs? Just pop it out with a screwdriver?

yup thats about the easiest way.

and just for what its worth, the way the 97-98 comes out is regardless of fogs or not. mine pulls out like that with no fogs because that how you have to remove it.

K, Im going to go try here in a bit. So the verdict was that I WILL have to acetone the gauges? The LED's will not overpower the green overlay? Just making sure so I know what I'm getting into

Yup all you have to do is swap the stock bulbs for white LEDs and you have blue
