So I joined the club. I got this in today and threw it on. FYI, if you use a 5ohm 20 watt resistor wired in parallel with each LED turn signal, you retain the factory turn signal speed (without having to buy the more expensive Chrom glow load stabilizer for $61. Resistors are $2.50 ea at RadioShack.

For those of you who did this and kept the plastic molding, what did you use to fill in the holes from the old Lollipops?

Just get rid of the plastic molding

How difficult was this to do?

Mine. It was easy....a monkey could do it.

I used a license plate reflector on each side.



Before that I used a body panel clip.

Has there been a write up on this?

Thanks Immortal!

Where did you get the body panel clip? I might try that for a little bit.

Do you guys have profile pictures of the rear? Lookin' for ideas to try. Thanks!

click on the link to the previous thread....my pics are mostly on page 3 I think.

I took some from underneath the fender. I didn't use anything except the stock mount, just trimmed all the excess bs so it wouldn't show. It looks very clean now

Like Immortal said, it's fairly easy. So long as you're comfortable cutting and splicing things. To be honest, it was more tedious than difficult. Installing the resistors in parallel added about another 2 minutes overall to the entire project.

As far as profile shots, I saw Raven's here:


and Jon's here:

and Smokin' Joes with the spikes, but I didn't see any one else's. Though I've been known to be blind before.

Lowes has them in the fasteners section. I bought an assortment, so I can't remember if it was GM Chrysler or Ford. I had to use a washer on the other side so it would snap in.

From the back.

My brother welded up a bracket for the light to fit in, so it had some protection. Here some pics

 

[immortal13]

Wow, you so went to alot of unnecessary trouble... E for effort though.

 

[todd9974]

Took my bro about an hour or two to weld up. Then I painted it up. It took us longer to install the taillight and side license plate, then it took him to weld it up. Extremely happy with the result. Also the side license plate is from the Kuryakyn black line, extremely happy with that as well

 

[immortal13]

That's cool and all, but like I said way overkill. You could've just trimmed down the original bracket...then you don't have anything showing but the light itsself. To each his own....good effort.

 

[todd9974]

That's what I originally want to do when I took the idea to him, but he want to weld up a bracket. Its defiantly cleaner, then cutting up the stock one, and a little more work but the end result is cool. When you have a brother that's a mechanic and a welder, he had his mind set on what he wanted to do, and of course it didn't cost a sent.
