LLY: 06 LLY Part Deux meet "Snow"

Got a few Pm's about the reverse lamps. Here they are lit up.
Is there a certain type/brand of led reverse lights that work better than others? There are times when I desperately need more light backing up but I'm not sure I want to add pods just yet.

Tires showed up with a quickness, so I put them together and was really happy with the way they balanced. They are a little aggressive for the look of the truck, but I didn't feel like paying almost double for Michelins as I won't drive it much this winter.
Catch can also arrived, man it is a really nice piece. Waiting for our machine shop to get the -6AN compression 90's in to make up the hoses.
Tunes are loaded and done. Really happy with the turnout by my tuner. He spent several hours building these tunes as he knows how picky I am and then worked on tranny tunes for a long while. Can't do much with the rain, but lights the turbo quick has a nice rumble at idle. I like it a lot.
I towed the Z06 to the shop Wednesday and the compressor decided to take a dump on me in the driveway. Called Maxey and am nothing but impressed with how they handled me. Overnighted me the new dual compressor setup and all of the necessary lines to connect them, NO CHARGE under warranty. I told them I had no issue doing the retrofit and returning the old compressor.
Current setup
New setup will look like this
Did get the trailer fully cleaned and detailed before the issue started.
I wish my equipment was that clean 
Looking good as always. Keep us updated on the pcv catch can :thumb:

Just ordered the last 2 sets they had. I plan on using a set in the drls. Are you still running regular bulbs in the drl? Or did you switch to LEDs. On the page it says the LEDs are 14v.Got a few Pm's about the reverse lamps. Here they are lit up.

It is hard to keep them clean, but is one of my passions.
I will have it installed this week for sure.
Same bulb in DRL.
Got mine ordered for the reverse lights but forgot about the DRLs. Guess I will wait till they restock
Tunes have been driven, good driveability, trans is safe up to position 4, have the TransGo Jr to go in over the next couple weeks as well as the EGR delete. I am happy, the tunes are clean and don't smoke except on the big tunes. We shall see how fuel economy is this week.
Got the compressors in for the trailer. Took a while because I am particular, but they are in and done.
Test fitting.
Opted to forgo the cheap little relays thanks to a tip from Sandog. He uses a 80 amp starter relay to protect them versus the cheap China 30 amp units.
It installed nicely and made for actually more room than the single. Going to add another tank likely a 20-30 gallon to have more capacity.
I rerouted everything for a more sanitary look, as well as looming it as much as i could.
New compressors are more than half quieter than the old setup, its the perfect setup.

Just got a message from the seller saying that they discontinued that model and there wouldn't be anymore. Guess I will try a different brand.
You won't ever find out the fuel economy
Nice work with the compressors

That is no good, glad I have a spare set.

I got 2 sets and just got an email from the seller saying that I got a refund on one of the sets. They are out of stock.
