Had a buddy of mine who runs a detail shop come by and spend a couple hours giving my truck a thorough exterior detailing.

Gotta love black and chrome when it's clean







Only bad part about having it shined up is it really shows the blemishes and imperfections in the paint. Probably going to get the rear quarters and all my rockers repainted this year.

 

Looks good overall. Detailing take so much work and time

 

Looks good, very jealous of you CTD....

 

what color are the lights in the grille

 

Looks good, and I still think those back up lights are slick. They blend in well.

Thank you sir.

 

lol now i remember this vid lights look awesome tho

 

I love the backup lights in the bumper...is there a how to on these or do you have a parts list or anything?

 

There's a picture of everything you'll need. Some 12awg spools of wire, wire loom, rocker switche(s), fuse holders, some connectors, shrink wrap, and of course the bulbs and rubber grommets that can be picked up at any tractor trailer supply store.

As for installing them it's pretty straight forward. You'll have to come across a large bimetallic hole saw (I believe it was 4-3/4" but don't quote me on that). Mark out where on your bumper you want them (measure a few times!), drill yourself a pilot whole, and then goto town with the hole saw.

For running the wires just follow the factory harness that runs alongside the drivers side frame rail all the way from the engine bay.

From there it's just a choice if you want to tie into your reverse light circuit or put them on a deadicated switched power source like I did.

Here's my write up on doing it.

 

Thanks Geezir...gotta add that to my list.
