I just pre-drilled holes for these screws to screw into. I cut everything on this project with a Dremmel.

I'll throw one in the mail tomorrow.

(I'm no expert, but if I scan it and e-mail it, the size may get tweaked!)

I would remove your name and address from the previous posts. I'm not a paranoid web wheeler, but I think it'd be wise to keep some things off the board. I know it can be found on google, but there are a lot of real a$$hats that float around these sites.

yeah, all the functions worked without grounding except the reverse. after i grounded them, everything was fine. now i'll be looking for some euro lights to finish the look. i think on ebay they're like $60 for the pair. i couldn't have done it without you, steelman. thx

I really like the recessed stock lights.... but i also really like the flush mount LED's. I'd like to do one of the mods to my jeep but don't know which way to go...

Seeing how i can get trucklites from work for pretty cheap I tend to lean towards doing the led mod.... anyone have any thoughts???

**Erik T.** · 11-10-2006, 02:08 PM

I vote LED's. Those are my next update.

Quadratec has some pretty nifty ones for about 200$. A bit on the expensive side, but they are easier to install and come with backup lights in them. So you ain't got to put additional LED's in.
