They have a rubber gromment on the and they fit perfectly in the Platinum grlle like they were made for it, you can place them anywhere in that grill bar. Tied them together and wired to key on hot wire. Funny thing is the black wire is the positive and the white is the ground on the LED lights.

When there is a black and white, black will in most cases be positive (HOT). Red and black, Red is positive. Black and white is used in the AC field, just like your house wiring. Chinese manufacturing... Now don't ask me about Blue and Brown, europe AC wiring...

My old Clubwagon (E150) did great in the snow. Although at times it seemed a little top heavy.



New truck does great. Wranglers are good enough.

Man that’s too much snow. I’ll stay down here where I’m at and enjoy my cold 40 degree days.

I could tell it rode more like a truck with the weight on it. After heating the cabin, a sheet of ice forms underneath all the snow. Then I was able to wiggle the truck back and forth enough to make it slide off the roof to the side, instead of when I hit the brakes, so it doesn't take out the wipers. I left the pile on the back for extra traction. It has the max tow/snow plow prep, blah blah all that, so maximum suspension parts are on it, as much as comes from the factory anyway.

only travel to "nice" places, that hurts. I live in northern michigan and we are forecasted on getting a foot of snow in 24 hours today on top of what we all ready have. all of the down staters travel up north on the weekends to escape the city and visit beautiful northern michigan for skiing, snowmobiling and the lakes in the summer. I find it nice to live full time in a place most people only weekend.
