    Maybe time for some CAD with the lights powered on so you can see light patterns?

    The MS paint you see above is honestly more than anyone in here should have been expecting.

    This is what I’m leaning towards though, effective and simple.

    One or two things modded... Check out the build thread
    I vote for the middle picture. They will dual purpose serve as marker lights and running lights...

    I ended up doing them here. It was much simpler than the other options and just what I was looking for in a lazy Friday morning project. The camera doesn’t do the lights justice, they’re proper bright. It leaves spots when I close my eyes if I look right at them.

    Randy, where did you source longer bolts for the front bumps? I can’t find 1.25 pitch anywhere local so before I pay $8 each on fleabay I thought I’d check.

    McMaster-Carr is a great source for all things fastening.

    I also hear there's this place called Fastenal. I don't know why anyone would go there. Much less work there.

    I have one currently in my tundra for a rear footwell light. (MAX WHITE)

    I bought some more (MAX AMBER) to put DRL's in the side mirrors

    They're solid little lights for the money, I'm thoroughly impressed.

    Right? for $24 w/ rear mount, they pack a punch.

    We have a fastenal, but they are closed to the public. I really don’t understand what they’re doing unless they just service corporate accounts now and make deliveries.

    Checked McMaster. Apparently $8/each is the going rate. Seemed high so I thought I’d make sure I wasn’t missing something. The local HD sucks for bolt selection, but there’s an Ace opening up around the corner from my company so maybe they will have a better selection.

    I may also be making this up and the supplied bolt may have been long enough.
