    Got the LED's installed.

    In just under 4 hours . Two of those hours were spent trying to figure out why they didn't work. Ran them to my accessory switch since it wasn't being used for anything... nothing. Checked every possible connection... nothing. Took apart the switch to see if it was broke... nothing. Grabbed the continuity tester.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... I don't even know how to use a stupid continuity tester, hell, I don't even know why I own one (remember, I said I was pitiful at electrical stuff). So after sweating my arse off and creating 13 new swear words, I did what I probably could've done two hours earlier. I took the positive lead off the little cigarette lighter thingy at the bottom of the switch panel and connected it to my accessory switch.... Enter a choir of angels singing, fireworks exploding, confetti like ya see at a giant parade.... IT WORKED! So, everything is working, got the LED's, now I'm just waiting for nightfall so I can check them out

    I installed some red LED's in the cowling of my 250 ProXS on Saturday. Wiring was pretty easy, but the routing of the wires is still not great. Can't get the wires through my rigging sleave. Hooked them all up, got the cowling on, and only half of them worked.... And let me tell you, it was HOT outside. Got to looking and one of my connectors in the cowling had come lose. That was a pain to take it all apart and redo it. But, got it complete before my trip that night so I was able to see them. Looked pretty cool.
