I've got an 01 Expy EB with the lights on top of the running boards. The newer Explorers and Expys have approach lights under the mirrors that shine towards the ground to help you approach the vehicle. Has anyone thought about installing these under the running boards for extra light toward the ground on older models that do not have the approach lights?

Also thinking about installed one or both of the short ones under the hood for extra light.

Your thoughts please. Thanks!

 

Bump

Surely someone has done or thought of doing this? If not, I'll be the flagship for it.

 

Sounds cool enough ill.. join ya freeee buuuuuuuuump

 

Glad someone else thinks its a cool idea.

 

While were at it I wanted to do some red for the interior all around the feet maybee around the roof to inside if I can tuck them away nice enough then the whites off the running boards that would be nice... or idk of any other colors for inside that won't be cheesy

 

I want the inside dark when driving at night.....other than the dash and radio. I did however see one time in a Toyota forum where someone took a single LED and put it in the bottom of each cup holder. Looked pretty sweet at night and it helped you locate the holder while driving at night.

 

Lol well they would be nice to mee anywayz wall mart sells a cheap install kit 4 that

 

Yeah, I've checked out what walmart has.

 

Just remember in alot of states it's illegal to drive with these underbody lights. Some stays it's illegal to even have them mounted. Review the state laws you'll be visiting with the truck, specially if you have yearly inspections.

 

I know ny doesn't like em very much but I was under the impression they would be on only when the running board lights would normally come on....

 

97-98 Lincoln MarkVIIIs have green LEDs built behind the interior door handles so you can see them at night. Pretty cool effect for stock.

LEDs under the running board would look great and be a nice safety feature.

 

You are correct. They would only come on when the doors are open.

I think in all states it is illegal to drive with doors open.

 

That is pretty cool.

 

Not in West Va - you don't even need doors... :P

 

Niice lol so I can go to va and drive with my doors open and lights on lol I think I will def add the led's to my truck cool effects aside the bright lights make it easy to see. In a parkeing lot when u can't find your car lol
