: Re-did the Clear Corners...

I just got my clear corners re-wired and thought I would share...:friday:

There is a waterproof amber LED installed and I added switchbacks.
The LED strip is wired with diodes to stay on with the DRL and marker lights.
The matching amber cove light has double LED strips and stays on with the running lights as well as blinking at all times, when the blinker is used...:thumbsup3:
Please excuse the masking tape around my headlights, that's another project in progress...:coffeetime:

Here's a picture of a finished set.

http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww22/mtndv8/DIY%20shots/IMG_0272.jpg

Diodes from both the DRL/turn sig (blue/white, white/blue I think) and running light (brown).
That's the red/black lead in pic.

PM me if you need more info... :thumbsup:

I can't wait to get the crystal tail light lens' finished. :thumbsup3:
I thought about going the blackout look when I first got her.
Then, I figured I could always tint later...

I try to get all my stuff bulk and this place is close;

The three wire connectors are rv/trailer light connectors.
My 3157 bulb sockets were cooked so I needed so swap new ones anyway, seemed logical to use them. :thumbsup:
