Get the marker light assembly with fog lights in them, then put a 3157 socket/bulb in it... The factory fogs in there are useless anyway :D
I already have aftermarket lenses that I want to use that don't have the fog light, but there is a flat spot on them. If there only was a way to drill and cut the proper whole and tabs....

Yep Matt it now looks like a gmt 400 parking light set up. I really like it, much better then having those DRL's.

I need to change the oil, but I don't think it's going to happen today.

Got new brakes front and rear.
Also new bearings for the rear drivers side.
Needs a couple bushings here and there but after today all I need is a proper exhaust before the bronco is ready to go!:fingertime:

Drove it to get medicine for my mom (she's got a cold). I knew you had to show I.D. to get Psuedofed, but I didn't realize you also had to be 18 to get cough medicine (makes sense though). Sure am glad I'm 21 now!!! :)

Found a coolant leak! :fume: Also found out that this thing must have regular green anti-freeze in it. Can I mix or go back to Dex-Cool? Anyways....tightened the lower hose clamp on the radiator so hopefully it doesn't leak any more. All the coolant system components (radiator, pump, heater core) were replaced before I bought it, but I'm not sure about the hoses.

Not really... once green is put in it, it plates the internal surfaces with silicates.
You will now have to change in on the GREEN schedule... every two years...not on the extended schedule that DEXCOOLl allows.

Son....of....a....bitch! :frustration: I have 6 gallons of Dexcool sitting around!!!

Can I ever go back? (doing a complete drain, flush, flush, flush, refill) Or would I have to replace everything (engine and coolant system)?

That sucks .. that you have six gallons of the expensive stuff.

YES... you can still use DEXCOOL.... but you will have to change it on the GREEN schedule.
Every two years.
Once the green has been in it... the OAT ingredients in DEXCOOL no longer do what they were designed to do.

Here is a link that explains DEXCOOL pretty well...
