I actually like the look of the ambers since the fall in line with the front markers an add unity. I wanted to go red but do not regret the decision. I will be doing the SVT cutout soon. Also going to put red leds in the bed eventually and will use oznium. Good prices and delivery was quick from Colorado.

The original LED pucks died after about 18 months. Well, they weren't totally out but 2 LEDs were only lit on one side and 3-4 on other side. Decided to use LED strips this time, 3 per side. They are way brighter than the pucks were when new.

With garage lights on

With garage lights off, doors shut and only light is through the garage door windows.

Looks good, I see you didn't cut the SVT logo out of the fender.

Noah, is the material white when its not lit?

Did this mod this weekend. Tapped into the LED marker lights in the loom on the driver's side. I then ran the wires across the back by the fire wall from one vent to the other and covered that in split plastic loom. I didn't wrap it in electrical tape yet because I plan on installing hood vent LEDs next weekend. I will tap into my new wiring for that mod. I also dremeled out the fiberglass behind the "SVT" cut out so that the light would shine through that as well. I then touched up the cut areas with Tuxedo Black touch up paint. Below are the pics of my install.

Which wire is the day time running light? I want to be able to run these lights with the headlight knob rather than the aux switch

Did you connect the positive and negative with tap?

No; I soldered them and then wrapped in electrical tape.
