    I just got a used 2nd gen ARB bumper so for those with a front ARB, i have a question. I know theres two bulbs in the turn lights, one is the bigger amber one ( DRL / turn signal) and one is the small corner white "park light / marker light" . Whats the point of the small white corner one? was it designed to also be a turn signal? Could it be wired to be on when the headlights are on? I was thinking amber could be DRL / turn signal, and corner park light could just be on when headlights are on, i.e. at night, thoughts?

    I have mine wired up the way you describe... the smaller, white light is just another marker light, wired into my DRL circuit. In fact, I installed the biggest, brightest LED bulb that would fit from Superbrightleds.com, and it looks pretty good. Doesn't obscure the turn signal with they're flashing, which I think looks good along with the turn signal in the headlights...

    I know this thread has been dead for a while but is there any way you could post a link to the led that you put in the white areas? Have any pics of the finished assembly?

    Funny to see this as I had a blown turn signal bulb in my ARB yesterday. I didn't know there was a light in the clear lens so was searching this morning for idea on how to use it, or when it came on. I'll have to dig more, and now.... I'm subscribed.

    Sorry, no, don’t have pics... I actually sold my ARB inserts when I upgraded to the LabRak LED housings. I really can’t remember which Superbrightleds products I used, but I looking at my past orders, I think it was these

    Again, can’t recommend them strongly enough... I thought they were great!

    I put in Slee Off Road inserts.

    For my fogs I put in Rigid DOT Duallys...awesome cut offs. For the other cut outs...I just put in a steady burn 4 LED head amber light. So when I have my parking lights on or headlights these are always on. Work awesome ad DRLs, look great.
