I could spend all day in a junk yard just looking at old cars, especially if they were all MUTTs. It would make interesting reading to hear how all of this came about.

Right equipment for the job at hand. Makes life a lot easier and the job goes quicker and smoother. How far did you have to move them? I am guessing you had the lift to get them off the trucks also.

AWOL: Welcome to the site. Did your yellow lights blow out, or is there another problem. A buddy bought a pair, and one blew immediately as soon as he turned the lights on. He got a replacement, and it worked great.

The local are sh"t (Chineese). If you want them yellow. Just get the clear one's and put transparent yellow tape on them.
Glad to see you posting.
