Wonder how much side lighting that actually gives you? Are they floods? Looks pretty good actually. You just might be a new trend setter.

Very cool. I wish I could get away without a front plate so I could do something like that...

That looks friggin awesome. I bet that is just what the doctor ordered for cornering lights. Just sold my flush mounts! Guess another pair is in the wish list now!!!

Always check your ground.

Did you get a new harness with the lights?

Yukon Joe

Yep it came with the full harness. Grounds are good. Nice solid metal on metal.

That's definitely badass! Looks better than I expected but I wouldn't ever have the balls to do that lol and plus I think only white and black raptors can pull this off

Finally! I've been waiting months to see you do this lol.



Look at the plug that goes in to the light. My harness plug had one connection that wasn't seated the whole way so it wouldn't make a connection and turn on. I had to motivate it farther toward the end of the holes for the two sets of pins to touch.

Bingo. I went and unplugged both of the plugs going in to the light. I was able to shove about a 1/4" of wire in to the ballast plug and now it lights up just fine. Have you had any issues with it moving or coming undone since doing yours?

NEVER through away spare bolts, nuts and washers! Lol....

Are you tying your new retro accent lighting into your amber lights?
I recommend that you use an aux switch for the accent LED lights. The heat from the HIDs along with having the LEDs on at the same time can cause them to fail over time. The LEDs will last much longer if they are off at night when the HIDs are on.

Wish I would have known this earlier.

I'll find out tonight. Yes. I've only seen it on one other truck before.

Thanks. Took me about 30 mins and no beers to make the first cut. Pretty sure the truck I saw this on was red. Just use some plastidip.

That looks pretty damn good. It's definitely looks like a good idea you have. I think I know what to do with my flush mounts now when I put my rear bumper on instead of selling them.
