I'm building up the parts I'm going to need to really do it right and once[emoji39]
The over all plan is to be able to have the ORL and fogs operate independently of the high/lows so the flip flop relay and turn signal stalk mod will need to be done. I'm not super confidant about wiring or soldering so if there's any pointers on that or easy to use resources feel free to enlighten ( tee hee) me.
For the front id like to retro in some LED fog lights bulb swap would be easiest and in actively researching those. The projector head lamp assembly's on eBay keep peaking my interest however I've read so much good and bad I'm hesitant. HID alone is so bright compared to stock it's unreal. Getting a good set up is much harder than it first appeared. I've read so much about the off-road HID swap that I'm planning on ordering those today eBay special looks straight forward with good diy stickies. I have a cheapie 20" bar for the mouth also seems pretty straight forward. The sides are going to be tough for me. I work on an ambulance and having scene lights is just the best I use them all the time and decided I wanted some on my x.
got them for a steal they are the box above the bar
I want to mount them to the bottom of he rail and run the wires inside. I'm all ears for that procedure. I have six of those. The idea was two left two right and two rear. Eyeballing the rear most bar position though I don't know if those will hit where I want so I'm also going to source some couch mount pods to stick in the bumper. I'd like them to selectively turn on either via switch when I shift to reverse, MT, or off allowing only the stock back ups. Haven't figured that out yet.
I like the idea of LED interior lights especially if they are brighter but when I click on some of the links in the stickies they go no where so that's also still under research. As for the back hatch I saw a mod called the "porch light". I got two very thin COB LED and will try to wire them into the rear dome light. they will be mounted on the far left and right of the tailgate so when the hatch goes up the immediate area outside will have illumination. I'm also thinking about strips glued into the headliner to eliminate dark spots.
The switch placement is odd. I tried outa few ideas with post it notes and felt that
here up above the door handle would work best for me. I found some circular rocker switches and I will arrange them in a diamond to help me hit the right one by feel.
I'm ordering a ten pack of relays today probably some wire. I'll try to take pictures of successes and failures.
