It really wasn't that hard. My parking lights are white, but when I turn the blinker on, the flash amber, white, amber white etc. They are the version 1 switchbacks which they don't make anymore. It took me 5 minutes to do the resistors.

foodsmart is the spot for the most part
brooklyn park is like 45 mins away I think from st. paul where we meet, but I could be wrong

My previous car was an oldsmobile intrigue (same car as a grand prix, but different body) and I actually replaced all the interior lights with LEDs, but the exterior lights I used the better (more expensive) bulbs that Sylvania puts out, I think it's called their SilverStar lineup. They were pretty nice. I wound up getting the some for the turn signals/DRLs and they lit up amber, but looked a little blueish. I liked em and it saved me the hassle with finding somewhere to put the resistor. I actually just put the same lights on my girlfriends grand prix and she loves them (hint hint)
Well then, i may have to check them out.... where did you get them?

Brooklyn Park is about 20-30 minutes away from University Avenue. Chaska is close to an hour away. University is basically right in the center of the whole metro area.

foodsmart is the usual spot, but the way things happen so sparaticly there, we may leave and go back a couple times.. I won't be able to be up there til after 9.. I have work from 4 til 8, then I have to put the front end of my car back on, then I can head out. Unless UPS doesn't make it.. cuz then I won't be doing anything

The LEDs I did were from superbrightleds.com. All fairly cheap additions. I replaced all the dash lights with LEDs too, so if you needed any help let me know, I'm no stranger of taking cars apart and I don't break stuff like most shops do!!! That's why I do as much work myself as I can.
Thanks to another member on here I might start doing more work myself since I have the TL service manual now!!!!!!! Thanks Buda!

I ordered mine from Osram Sylvania website, but I'm pretty sure you can pick them up at any autozone.

headlights are in and loooking fresh... I'll be honest, they aren't too pretty, and there is a few flaws with them, but they are worth it overall in my opinion cuz they are just sexy.
ha, i did the install of headlights and bumper by myself, in my garage with no jack in under 45mins, then drove to work..
also.. headlights are like significantly brighter now, not sure why

me and kenedy were chilling together for a while, but then he had to leave... though there was another TL next to us, he didn't want to park by us. Then when kennedy had to leave it was jusst me til travis got there.. kyle ended up not coming. tonight should be better.
on a side note. I honestly saw more TL's there then I ever have before. besides me kennedy and travis, i still saw 3 or 4 other tl's, but they wouldn't park next to us or even stop by, probs cuz we didn't have enough people to make us recognizable

Did you see the '04 TL parked with the rear end facing the street to the left of you? That was me. If you are the TL im thinking, im sorry your car didnt look black it looked silver or something. Were you parked in the back in the same row as the G35's? or were you the one in the middle under the light?

Just thought I'd throw this out there, I got my crank pulley tool in the mail this weekend, but was sent 2, so I'm selling one of them. If you're interested it's only $25 (same price I paid).
I have this posted in the blackmarket too.
