tailgate LED's

here you go; i put in a three pack of LED's and mounted them between the bumper and tailgate. a triple bar does not have enough clearance, so i got single 3/4" recessed grommit mounted LED's


eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices





real easy install. found the center line, and then marked a spot 6" out on both sides, dropped the spare tire out of the way, drilled three 3/4" holes, installed grommits, installed led's, wired them together, ran the ground to the frame, and stole the hot from the license plate light, reinstalled the sparetire.


also aired up the tire while it was down and greased up the cable and mechanism for the spare

Bump!

Dano, do you have any other pics of this mod? Close-ups of the actual LED's perchance, wiring, etc?

$20 all together. That includes the 3 leds, wires, and butt connectors with the shrink seal. I have had them for a year now with 0 problems.

I will try to post up better pics and better angles this weekend.
