Adding Grill Lights

[MannyN]

Wanted to install grill lights and looked at some options on how to do it. Sure don't like drilling holes everywhere, so, I had to come up with an idea.
Make a snap in holder for the lights by using ABS Plastic and cut pieces and welding them together with Acetone.



These pieces just snap in the frill between the vertical bars in the grill. Drilled a hole for the wiring and mounted the light on them.



Connecting the wiring and snapped them in, no glue, screw or tape.



Tested out the lights and everything is working fine. Except the middle on is not hooked up as they send 2 amber ones and one white one. They are nice enough to send me a new amber light.



Very happy with the outcome. Hooked them up with a fuse tap to fuse F38.

Great idea! May have to do similar now. Like those elongated lights vs the bullet style many do.

Nicely done. I've had those on for about 3 months now, no issues.

Man, if someone made a set of these with the wiring to tap into the fuse box... Take my money!
