Default Some recent tinkering completed

Got to reading all the stuff on here and getting great ideas. Figured I'd try out a few. Plasti-dip, grille inserts, eyes, interior. Just have fun messing around and tinkering. Click image for larger version

Love the angry eyes! Nice job. How did you get them to glow green?

Well,

I tried the turn signal modification with no success. I did it exactly how the instructions were stated. Cut the black wire on the side marker light, and spliced it into the 3rd white wire on the turn signal (furthest from the black).

What I got was a rapid blinking sound, with no illumination on either the turn signal or the side marker.

Should have been so simple.

Grr!
