Where can I get some ballast bypass LED tube lights locally? Home Depot and the other big box stores only have the instant fit LED tube lights which means you take out the old fluorescent tube lights and put these in and it works using whatever ballast is currently inside the fixture. My ballast died and I don't want to replace it and would rather rewire the fixture to use the ballast bypass LED tube lights.

You mind as well just replace the whole fixture.. Rona often have 4" LED fixture onsale for about $40 including the LED tubes. Most tubes run for $15+ each.
If you are hoping for energy savings.. you don't save any energy with LED florescent fixtures.. they are still 44W, it is just brighter. Quote:

A kit would be best. I need an assortment and not entirely sure what size. Probably easiest if I measure then ask. Lordco had a couple on the rack. I didnt go to my normal location and the salesman wasnt particularly helpful.

Did some measuring today, and I need sizes up to 1.5".
Surprisingly I went to Lordco today again and a kit was never brought to my attention. I'll try coming with part numbers this time.

The Pico assortment pack is better than most, but doesn't have large grommets in it: https://picocanada.com/en/view_product/6114 Pretty sure the warehouse stocks that, so any Lorcdo in Van can have it same day or next.
For grommets, you might have better luck at MRO Electronics near Driver's Edge. You can see what they stock on the website, price is certainly better. MRO Electronic Supply Ltd.
I often buy grommets at Home Depot in the electrical section, but that's more when I'm not planning ahead enough to order them online. I'm not a fan of the "assortment" packs of most grommets. I have billions of the 1/4" grommets that they use to make the packs sound like they have lots included. Great! 200 grommets in a container, too bad 140 of them are sizes I'll never use on a car.
From the USA, all my electrical goods come from Waytek Wire.

Im looking to get some vinyl "slap" stickers printed. Does anyone know a shop locally that does this? I've found one so far and they only print upwards of 1000 PC's per order.
This is kind of what I'm looking to print.  | |

This is kind of what I'm looking to print. | Any sign shop can do this for you. You need to know some basics before you ask for a quote:
1) Size dimensions
2) UV coating or no? A sticker that is supposed to last a year or less, or strictly be used indoors, can go without a UV coating. Anything you want to last, or be in sunshine needs a UV coating.
3) White back or grey back? - A white back can have the decal design semi-visible from the reverse side (if it's installed on glass). Grey back has a grey backing so it can't be seen. Note: Whiteback can have your decal appear darker on a dark surface, so sometimes you want grey back so the surface colour doesn't change the decal appearance.
4) Material - You may want to specify a particular material type. We use 3M IJ-36 for anything that will be installed on a vehicle and we want to remove later. Its pressure-sensitive, so the harder you press it the more it sticks.
CCA does a small decal for each event (kinda like a kill decal), 3" wide by 1.5" tall. I'm printing between 40 and 200, depending on the event. Grey back, with UV coating, and the pricing ranges from $.75 to $1.50 per decal depending on the source.
-Dave
