replaced in tank fuel pump, got new tail lights not installed yet, waiting on new center garnish calais strip to come so can get everything painted and looking schmick at the rear end. waiting on SSL springs in the mail, also installed amp and sub tonight. sounds really good but now have indicators turning hazards on. disconnected rear loom and they started blinking properly, blinking fast obviously but one at a time not together so im guessing i much have pinched some wires in the rear loom or something while installing amp on false side wall i made. will have to have a look tomorro night or saturday see if i can get another loom the one in there is pretty messy anyway
