Installed led taillights. Original bulbs (build date: June 08) were an ordeal to remove. Wedge type bulbs can get really stuck in socket. Owner's manual stated that to remove bulb from socket after removing bulb and socket from housing to push in slightly than turn counterclockwise slightly than pull to remove. This did not seem to apply to mine. I luckily was able to pull bulbs exerting significant force without breaking bulbs. I installed a 360 degree type led bulb. G8 reflector housing is designed for a spherical light source that reflects fully. Leds I installed didn't fully reflect from certain angles. They still looked good though and I'm not going to mess around with different led bulbs.

Replaced the missing stud then gave it a bath so it looks good on the dyno on Friday.

Took it to the dyno to see where I am at, but apparently until HpTuners gets their heads out of their butts I am out of luck. Hard to get a dyno run when it wants to shift to 5th no matter what is in the tune.
