ALTERNATIVE tube bumper blinker MOD

Ok well i was thinking about doing the led in the running lights mod but i it would be a huge pain in the but for me so i decided that i would come up with my own little way of doing it. not sure if anyone has done this or even if there is a thread but here goes nothing

TOOLS REQUIRED
wire cutters
wire strippers
butt connectors(can be soldered and heat shrinked)
crimpers
a drill
1/4" - 3/4" step drill bit (14$ at autozone)
20 minutes of your time

PARTS REQUIRED
x2 amber led lights ( i bought mine from SDHQ) (9$ per)
x2 load resistor kits( also from SDHQ) (11$ per)



BEFORE YOU START DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

STEPS:

FIRST: remove your little panels below the headlight assemblys

SECOND: drill the piece with the step drill bit(should only take 20 seconds per)






THIRD: insert the led light into the hole you created. (if it doesn't fit take the drill and bore out the whole by moving bit in a circular motion to widen)





FOURTH: cut the old connectors off and toss them out or keep them for memories





FIFTH: strip all the wires with wire strippers and attach butt connectors (or solder them) to one end of each wire





ATTENTION: the white wire on mine connected to the WHITE and BLACK wire which is ground i believe. The GREEN and YELLOW wire connected to my black wire Which is the power source.



SIXTH: connect the WHITE wire to WHITE and BLACK and the black wire to green and yellow

SEVENTH: adding the resistors.. you connect one end of the resistors wire into the single entrance side of the splicers and insert the other side onto the wire( may take some force) and i used a pair of pliers to smash the metal piece in and then you snap it closed do this for both sides of the wire.


I forgot to put the led through so had to take appart and redo this one

the resistors have 2 wires, it is not meant to be an inline resistor it has to connect to both wires

REPEAT FOR OTHER SIDE

once you have done this you can now pop those pieces back in place and you need to mount the resistors.
you need 2 self tapping screws and then screw them into you place of choice i super glued them until i can get to ace hardware for self tappers




finally test them out and make sure they work.



AND HERE IS MY FINAL PRODUCT



good luck and let me know if you need assistance

 

Awesome, I never thought of mounting there. I keep putting them under my bumper (I'm just rolling with half the factory bumper, ditched the lower valence) and keep ripping them off or breaking them. I'll be mounting my next set up there.

 

Nicely done! Subscribed as this looks way easier than drilling my corners and JB Welding the OEMs into the corner lights!

 

Like it...good work op

 

Ya it is way easier than doing that mod and i like the look of it so Farr
It wasn't to hard to do it it's a nice little touch

 

Looks good! Good job!

 

Thanks couldn't have done it without you guys haha

 

what brand/part number are the lights? can't find them on SDHQ

 

not sure they arent on there website im local and went there to pick them up
on the package it says 3/4" amber led light cus-3/4 amber

you might want to call and ask they have them on there showroom floor
if not i can go buy some and ship them if you would like

the resistors are putco #230004A

 

here are some more pics

 

here was the lights package from SDHQ

 

I like.. Alot.
You should get some pictures from that position with all the lights on.

 

if i did you would be blinded by the light
lol
