I don't see him mentioning what bulbs, I must be missing something

Here you go gents, street legal and under 55 watts. I like the bulbs, ran them last night and they are pretty clear and performed much better. Setting up the led lights today, have to modify some things, but building the relay harness from spare parts lying around the garage.

I just run power bar LED on my truck in rural areas/gravel road, I turn on the head lights, just when I'm driving in town. I bought a led power bar/fog lights for around $50 on amazon last year. I used them quite often and work very well.

I am with you there brother, LED is a good way to go. Worked on mine today, but had a hell of time drilling the mounting bracket. Really need to buy a drill press one of these days

My kingdom for a drill press today, but made it work.

Got one side done today, but will try and finish the other side tomorrow.

Using the stock switch. Had to play with the volt meter , but think I have it worked out.

Using the relay from the donor dash and 12 gauge wire.

I am with Mike, would only use them for country roads, but the test will be to see how it mounts with the bumper.

Finally got the Gen 4 bumper installed. The right light is off a bit and will have to readjust it, but everything else can put pretty clean.

Auto body friend of mine spun me up today on the stud welder and slide hammer. Simple Harbor Freight job but worked pretty well.

Will apply some mud and sand it down tomorrow.
