Which LEDs do you have? Almost sounds like they're the wrong ground type for our cars.

Did you try turning the LED 180 and reinstalling? That's what happened when I changed the marker lights to LED, they only work one way.

OverBoost: awesome to see you got them installed. They look sick and such an upgrade over stock.

Pull the splash guard above the radiator. On the driver's side, you may want to pull the 10mm bolt holding the airbox in place to gain room. On the passenger side, you can disconnect the black connector to get more access to the side marker socket. Check polarity before you put them back in, so keep your keys handy to unlock to test.

Excellent... Looking at your attached pic above again, those DO seem bright lol. That's a good thing. Even in bright daylight in your pic, still bright...unless you changed exposure. Thanks for update Steve. Maybe you have a vid next? And while you're at it, you owe me a vid of your borla with boss quads please

I forgot to state that I drilled the weep holes per borlas recommendation. Remember this is only after driving it a total of 3 times. I was surprised at how much water came out from each side! Those of you with borlas remember to drill the weep holes. It will affect the sound. No rust, like roushs, since full SS. But just sound will get affected.

Drilled a 1/8" hole 1" from the back of each exhaust (side pointing toward the front of the car). Not a drop of water, perhaps cause its been 85 degrees all week here. You guys in the cooler and humid region can probably benefit from it though.

Sorry for the delay guys... busy today.

The instructions came straight from Borla. I called them directly because I heard that weep holes were needed in all mufflers, esp in the midwest/colder weather where the engine/exhaust temps don't get hot enough to evaporate the condensation.

Anyways, here is the pdf Borla (Greg Weiss) sent me. I drilled as instructed, 1/16" hole about 1/8" up from the centerline of the muffler rear flat face (facing the front of car). I was suprised at how much water came out (you saw my pic).

They say if no hole, the sound quality will be affected because the muffler chamber will have water in there, so the acoustics get affected.

My latest pics I took today, just so happens to show those sexy tips. Love me some Borla. I am SO glad I got these puppies. For you avid detailers out there, Marilyn has 3 coats of souveran, after washing and drying with FK425. Prior sealant on there is 4star UPP. I also took a better video showcasing the borla exhaust.

Pics are regular, non HDR. I didn't bother using my promaster circular polarizing filter.

Zto5, you bastard! Now I have to get off my *** and detail my stang... It's covered in dust now.

Sometimes I take the CP off intentionally. Sometimes reflections can make an image pop. What sorta gear you using?
