Wow those sure are bright lol. I got mine mounted up and wired into the trailer harness... they aren't working... gonna have to break out the meter and see why.

Before you remove it try tapping your brakes to see if they turn on. I made that mistake and ended up blinding people everyone :sorrysign:.All i remember is the ground isn't black and power isn't red lol.

edit: I looked reverse power is purple wire, Ground is white wire. Oh i also had installed yesterday new Bistein 5100s front/rear and rear springs.

I tapped directly into the stock reverse wire for my positive, and drilled in 2 self taping screws into the bumper for the negatives. Good luck.

Okay... this is going to sound silly but mine just refuse to work... which wire from the led lights are you using as a positive? The red or black?

Its pretty easy to use the trailer harness wiring, just tap the positive to the purple wire(reverse wire) and the negative to the white wire. If you want to use the reverse from the taillight then take off the tail light assembly then grab the reverse light bulb and use the wire that is attached to it and splice a wire into that wire for power. For the ground(negative) wire find a bolt that you can ground it out at.

dimensions of the ones i got are 6 1/4" wide, 1 5/8" tall, and about 2" deep. Definitely smaller than the stock fogs.

Got them installed, and i'm pretty happy. They're 6000k, so they don't match the 5000k leds in my housings, but i think the brightness more than makes up for it. And i was skeptical about how it would look during the day, but i think they blend in pretty well.

Like i said, only thing that could make these better is if i could find a 5000k version. Anyone know where i could find some?

nice!!!

Red for positive and black for negative. With that said, depending on what wires you tap into, it might be worth flipping that, just to make sure.

That may be the case for 02, but 03+ it isnt.

On mine light green is reverse and black is ground at the trailer harness. However my trailer reverse light fuse keeps blowing. Its grounding out somewhere along the line, not sure where.

I have tried hooking up both lights to the reverse light wire and it trips too. however if I power each light up directly to the battery they work, so Im thinking something is jacked up in my wiring somehow... I soldered and heatshrinked everything so not sure. Gonna yank it out and rewire it and see what happens. Maybe I got a bad piece of wire... lol

Installed new brakes on the front, slotted/ported rotors and new carbon fiber pads. Sprayed my grille with Flexidip and sanded my billet bowtie, bumpers are next!

Took the side mirrors off today and dismantled as far as I could for color matching next week. Getting the rear lift gate applique', lift gate handle and all 4 door handles color matched too. Contemplating color matching the grille, but still not sure. The chrome grille still shines, but is getting pretty weather beaten. May let it ride for a while longer.

Fosscore your rides looking good. You should definitely color match the front grill i highly recommend it, it put a whole new look to my burb after years with chrome. Besides my exhaust tip, chromish headlights and lug nuts thats the only chrome i have on it now. As to your bumper lights are those amber or white when lit.

Thx 02 Burb for the comments.

Here are some pics and a little write up I did when I changed the bumper lights out in October 2014. $50 shipped on eBay. Been pretty happy with them still. Especially the clean look even without the amber reflector. They are not as bright as the OEM lights you see on all the new cars, but they do a great job and give it a total different look. Haven't seen anybody else with them. Still thinking about the color matched grill....hmmm...

Just added Camaro e-fans. If nothing else, it was worth it for how quite and smooth the truck is sitting at a light now (which I do a lot here in Florida). Now I just need to find that damn A/C trigger wire.
