[QUOTE="hamster, post: 1224506, member: 20018"] Getting the lights physically installed was pretty easy. Did like the OP. Great mounting location. I have the Ford Performance exhaust and had to adjust the tail pipe hanger a little to more perfectly align the tail pipes where they belonged.....otherwise the driver's side only had like 1/8" clearance. I should have done this when I installed the exhaust, but the small amount the driver's side pipe was off was not obvious until I installed the BD lights. I tested the lights before I decided how to wire them up. They are bright and definitely a major plus when backing into dark areas. I decided they were too bright to have them come on each time I shifted into reverse. So ran a lead wire to the aux switches. This took the longest amount of time. Ran up over the spare tire, then through the frame up to the front of the truck....metal fish tape proved really helpful. Ran the wire in 3/8 in. split loom for extra protection. Came out nice and clean....and did I say these lights are bright? Real nice! [ATTACH=full]94754[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94755[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
