[QUOTE="Crabtreepaw, post: 28203, member: 1196"] Thanks guys and this is a pretty awesome site i must say. The lights were very simple, but i prob shoulda taken more pics but wasn't really thinking about it at the time. Here is where i got the lights from oznium but here is the exact link [url=http://www.oznium.com/flexible-tri-chip-ribbon-leds]Ultra Flexible Tri-Chip (BRIGHT) LED Strips - 12V LEDs - Plug and Play[/url] As for the mod itself i used a small flat head screw driver (i used a few layers of tape so i didn't scratch the plastic). You remove the side closest to the cab first. The reflector itself looked like the tab was going to break so i put enuff pressure and bow'd the whole reflector before the prongs did break. Then grabbed the drimel and grinned down the plastic. I used the same method and bit for the reflectors and mirror. With reflector in hand i kinda guessed on how far to go but i just didn't want to break the factory heat weld. So i would say a 1/4 inch if not a lil less should be left around the boarder which is the white plastic attached to the orange reflector. Grind down the mirror itself the same way, but be carefull bc u don't wanna burn or toast a wire there are 4 that i know of inside of each mirror. Then i simply tap'd the led into the Green/White wire and black for ground and was good to go. The light itself was longer than i needed so i cut three of the lights off and curved the sides so that 5 lights would fit in and were properly spaced. Hope this helps, i can take some more pics over the weekend or monday if you want a lil more "how too's by pics" bc who really reads the instructions i/we just look at the pics, lmao [/QUOTE]
