I didnt realize that the lenses werent included.
I agree that is alot of money just for a 1? led setup?,Ive seen those 1156-57 led replacement bulbs at Canadian Tire for a while and they are only $10,sounds like a way better option.

Firewall connectors

I found 1 solution to a firewall connector.
The spring 2008 LMC cataloge has a 4 and 8 pin connector to fit 1-1/4 hole for the 4 pin and 1-1/2 for the 8 pin,in case anyone else was interested.
Anyone else found anything?
