Received my new LED's

3 amber's & 2 whites per side above my steps, the white wired into my cargo light and the amber's wired into the running lights. I should also be receiving my overhead console this week. Can't wait to get started installing.

Above the step, below the door on the 1" piece of metal sticking down is where they are going.

Did I miss a post? Where did you get these from? I'm interested in putting some on my 250 running boards. I got some this past weekend, but they are bigger than the ones you have.

Subscribing.

I'm interested to see these once they're installed.

I've been thinking about installing something to light up the running boards when you unlock the doors. Kind of like the "puddle lights" that some vehicles (i.e., my Dad's '02 Explorer) have mounted to the bottom of the mirrors.

Can't find a seat to match my color w/out spending over $400. Can't find seat covers to match my interior....so I moved on to led's for the side and an overhead console which I am sick about. Come to find out I need to tie into the vss wire for the temp. to work properly and Olbird does not have the location for the wire my 08 so w/out the vss its basically poop. So everything is a work in progress...... How's your days going??

Buy some extras, those lights are Taiwan made and do not last long. I had about 40 on my 05, and I had about 5-8 go bad per year.
