Buy some Dielectric grease for any electrical connections. You will thank me later when your connections don't corrode away.

Talking Installing aftermarket driving tomorrow.

Tomorrow when I get home from work I will be installing aftermarket driving lights behind my grille. Merry Christmas to myself I guess... . Yes, I will take pictures, both during the day and at night and update tomorrow.

P.S any advice or opinions would be awesome. TIA Nick

either primer or paint the holes you drill....save on rust damage later. They fit really good on the bar running in front of the radiator.....just sayin...

Yep, those thin profile lights like the Hella 500s are a perfect fit for behind the grill lights...
