    Would love to do this. Do you know if they would flash with the factory alarm? If spliced to the parking light I would think so.

    I believe just splice a wire into the turn signal wire, put in a diode so power only flows from turn signal to to aux LEDs, then splice that wire to the power wire of the LED. Haven't tried this yet, so not sure if it'll work

    Did mine awhile ago. I used the single led bolts from oznium but then I switched them out with the two led bolts from superbrightleds. They are wayyyy brighter.

    Do i need a separate piece to tap into the parking lot wire? I thought it would be fine to connect all of the positive wires and wrap it into the positive parking light wire. Its not working, but I know all of the leds are wired up correctly because when i tap it to the positive battery port they light up. Please help.

    Can you check for me if you have time? I've already blown two fuses but I thought its because i touched the wire strippers to the green wire, which I thought was negative. This is my first time wiring anything on my truck so I think you might be right.
