    I personally like the looks of chicken lights. If it were me and I had the time to wire it all up correctly, I would definitely run them

    I’m sure you can back that up with a relevant regulation?

    That’s what they told me too, and they are wrong. Of course they are the ones putting their name on it, so you’re at their mercy.

    I dont understand why you would take the bezels off the gauges thier zero maintenance and make it not look like a fleet truck

    They are cheap plastic chrome junk. It’s much easier to clean the dust off the dash without them there. I also removed the chrome switch covers with the plastic diamonds on the tips. I don’t like the chrome overload.

    Whether it’s in the regulations or not, my OCD could not put up with a light being out
