    Ordered the LED's from oznium. They took about 2 days to get here, mounted them up to my 2014 and Plasty Dipped the crome on the grille....lovin them.

    looks good...i dont see the point of the 4th light tho...looks out of place lol

    technically its the 5 lights to indicate that the vehicle is wider than i think 80 in. (not sure) hence why the duallys have them up top and the 5 lights in the rear

    Added lights yesterday! I used the Optronics MCL11AKBs from www.etrailer.com:
    http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Lights/Optronics/MCL11AKB.html

    Here are my supplies, mostly from Lowe's:
    0B0BDF25-4385-45B1-8543-F07FF049FB9A_zps_b33f6845b935725f36f4a3ef34bb4709e4ed53e4.jpg

    I'll try to remember to get some pictures tonight of the lights in action.


    To connect to power, I used a "fuse tap" or "add-a-circuit". That way, no factory wiring was harmed. I do want to replace the fuse tap I bought (ATM style) with one for the ATM Low Profile shape. Since the LEDs only draw 0.03A each, I used a 3A fuse those. Also, I'd like to identify which fuse is for the running lights, as I'm currently tapping off a headlight circuit.

    Add-A-Circuit:
    http://www.autozone.com/autozone/ac...M-fuse-tap/_/N-25gq?itemIdentifier=32416_0_0_


    As this is just an interim mod until my HomerTaco Raptor grill shows up, I wanted everything to be able to be pulled apart. So lots of weatherproof connectors. I also used rubber stoppers through the front of the grill with stainless hardware to hold my aluminum bar with the lights mounted to it.

    Overall, a very easy mod, and it looks great!

    Night shots, moving further back with each shot. The Optronic LEDs are DOT approved and PC-rated. In the last shot, you can still see the lights even with the headlights on. I guess I should have flipped on my 3 VisionX 8500 HIDs for a real test!

    I'm actually tempted to get 2 more and mount them in the bumper for a genuine setup.......
