LEDs from walmart

FloridaGrown · Oct 12, 2014

Posted a pic. These L.E.D's are from Wal-Mart lol I used a three way switch that was in the same isle. Easy installation. No cutting stripping crimping etc. Just plug and play. 16.00 and ten minutes of my time and It looks cool. Wish they where a bit brighter but hey you get what you pay for.

Yup. Neat.

Looks good. I did blue in mine. I also swapped all my dash lights to blue led as well. I like your green though.

I am generally opposed to all things from Wal-Mart.

Also, those could be brighter.

I'll buy motor oil and antifreeze from there.

MotorCraft is MotorCraft. Even if it's from walmart.

Fair enough.

Also, I didn't say we don't shop there. My wife shops there all the time. I just don't like it.

Oh I hate the place to. But when I decide to change my oil at 10:45 PM they are open :icon_hornsup:

I agree Wal-Mart definitely sucks when it comes to checking out and there clientele isn't the greatest company either. The green is actually the three way 12V switch. I had it on the blue setting in this picture. Oil and antifreeze is definitely cheaper at Wal-Mart then at your local part store. I Generally will buy a five gallon bucket and a set of filters. I keep antifreeze, power steering fluid and transmission fluid around. Also, about 30 cans of brake cleaner.

I used to keep some pretty odd hours, but I don't think I've ever been sitting around at 10:45 and just decided to change my oil.

Not the point I was trying to make. I don't use MotorCraft but the only reason I buy oil and antifreeze from Walmart is because it costs less there. The OP gets that......

I am opposed to Walmarts company mantra, but it'd be too hypocritical of me to say that since it has the largest selection of everything in my area (minus home building / car supplies). But, $12 for 5 quarts of 10W-30 or 20W-50 (bike) keeps me coming back. Prestone Antifreeze is $11/gal here. Bosch wipers are typically a couple dollars less, each, as well.

It's on the way home from work, the closest to the house, has a fresh produce (non-organic though), and a quite sizable grocery aisles. I wish I could turn away, but can't.

About your LED's: those lights aren't any better than the ones available in Autozone's play aisle for newly-mobile teens. BrightLEDs.com and eBay lights from China (I'm guilty) are brighter and just as easy to install. I used my LED strips to illuminate my engine bay over the stock bulb, my tonneau cover, and it turned my cabin into the surface of the sun so I can find that damn pen/quarter/phone that falls beneath my seat.

Ugh, why don't you buy Motorcraft? Especially from Walmart? Please tell me you buy Fram because you like the orange color and the cool textured grip on the end.

Haywire6000 · Oct 14, 2014

A lot of the time I don't get out of work until 9:30 or so. So sometimes I have to do things late or really early.

You're talking about oil filters - I was talking about oil and antifreeze but for filters, I use Wix.

I'm with you. Some days I just can't sleep and I have a nagging chore, resounding in my head. I've changed oil at 10 pm. I've also recharged my wife's A/C at 2:30 am. But, I usually don't run to the store for supplies at that time.

Ah. Gotcha. *aims finger pistol* Click click! Wix is good. Thanks for the clarification.
