    Updated photo for you guys considering this mod. Still one of my favorite $20 mods that took 30 minutes. Super simple. Love the results. Pretty bright even during daylight.

    Well, I finally got around to hooking up my lights today. Straightforward, and I think they look great! Almost can't wait for night-time to see them when it's good and dark... Thumbs Up to the OP for the idea...

    what did you use to tap into the drivers side wire? a simply wire tap like the plastic one from auto zone that clamps over and on to the wire?

    Just bought 4 cool white LED's from superbrightleds.com

    Im excited! Might do them on the bottom of the grill instead of the top. We'll see.

    What's the easiest way to get the chrome surround / outer skin off? I'm having a hell of a time with the clips.

    Disregard. I figured it out. Used some butter knives. Don't tell the Mrs. I'll post some pics later.

    Got mine installed last night. I put them in the lower grill and spliced them into my fog light wires. They look great so far.
