That's all printed on the lens you can just repaint the tins and it's all good.

I have heard that you could bech test and remove one wire at a time and try it on each circuit to find which wire gives you the result, than install the AUX jack circuit there. |

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
Not the best budget Mod but worth while. I rigged up this oil separator for my PCV line. I got the separator from Harbor Freight and made a bracket to attach to the intake manifold. The total cost was under $12.00.

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
You want some super bright dash lights for cheap and no leds? I'm cheap so what I did was took my cluster apart and everything that was pale green I painted white. Next after I re-assembled the cluster I replaced the standard 194 bulbs with 921 bulbs. They fit perfect into the light sockets but are much bigger. Cost less than $10.

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
More of a repair than a mod, but here it goes...
The shifter was loose in my truck. I pulled off the linkage where it connects to the column and noticed there was a bit of a gap. The bushing on the bolt was 1/2" and the hole the bushing was in was 5/8". I found a 1/2"x5/8" plastic bushing at home depot for $0.50!

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
Don't know if this is what some would call a mod or not. I install DOT tape inside my tail lights and dash bezels to help make it brighter. I will take a pic with in all installed. You can get it all over the place well under 50 bucks. Stuff sticks to about anything and will hold up fine in the heat.

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
Big time! silver paint works ok, but this stuff rocks. Next time you are around a trailer with DOT tape on it shine a flash light on it and you will see how well light will shine back.

I know that it shines. All of our dump trucks at work have it and I covered some magnetic bowties with it for my rear bumper.

My 78 blazer has a bowtie out of red and looks cool when the light hits it. Might be illegal to shine red up front but no one has pulled me over yet. Its more a off road truck any way. I wounder if putting on as the letters on a tail gate would be too much? ![]()

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
Just spent $50 on a 3/4 ton sway bar. all the mounts and bushings were in great shape. Best money I have spent to make my 69 to stop wallowing in the curves! Night and day for 30 minutes of work to install. Best mod ever!
