MY success with changing plugs at 113K was 2 consecutive tanks of gas with a full bottle of seafoam in each, then warm up the engine for 10 minutes and swap the 4 driver side plugs, then warm up engine again and swap the 4 passenger side plugs. I broke none, didnt use and kroil or impact guns. Took about 3 hours start to finish. I removed as much stuff as possible (intake tube and airbox mainly). I did leave the pcm plugged in but removed the bracket assembly (after disconnecting the neg battery terminal).

EP27 relay is just the flasher module. From sitting in the driver seat, its right by your left knee directly behind that panel. Takes like 30 seconds to swap. I used electrical tape to secure mine since it wont clip into the metal bracing like the OEM did. Plus it made the "clicking" a little quieter while your blinkers are on.

I don't think so they just dim and brighten randomly probably from being so cheap

If they are flashing and acting up. They are probably burnt out. The cheap ones last maybe 6 months and they start flashing.

Started to plastidip my bumpers black. Looks good so far. Forgot to take progress pics after the first coat. But once the 2nd is dry I'll take a picture. Prepped them with warm water and Clorox Kitchen Spray to take off grease.

This is very true. When we see prices like $2.99 for 15 of the 194 or 921 led's on ebay and Amazon, our eyes and we take the bait. Then in a few months the bulbs flicker and strobe and we trash them. I just bought some Morimoto festoons from TRS closeout ($3 each) and just put some ACME 921 in my Expedition reverse lights. The ACME 921 is insanely bright. I will be buying a pair for my trucks front dome lights. I have seen very good reviews on the JDMAstar on Amazon as well, but they have their own website also.

Did you take a look at the Peelcoat graphite from Rustoleum, of are you wanting black?

I'm going with black first. However, the nice thing about dip is if I'm not a fan I can peel it off and switch it out. Is the graphite similar to dark shadow (sterling) gray?
