It really is pretty basic wiring.

And this is what I have been working off and on on...

Functions the same as the one being advertised it is now a rod instead of 5 separate leds.






Have not worked on it for a while.

Still need to make it as bright as the rods on the lights though.

I think I might be picking up a set...what kind of reverse lights do you have BTW?? They look pure white?? Those are the last lights that I need to change out on my exterior...not sure whether I want to put another HID kit on my car or not.

I love them they give you more light in the rear which is need on dark roads.
What part of the wires did you cover up exactly? Could you let us know so we don't run into the same problems? =)

i've always wanted to get LED reflectors for my stock bumper but never liked the fact that there was only 5 LEDs in the middle of the reflector instead of running across the whole reflector. If they made LEDs run across the whole reflector or used a LED strip like you did I would def. get it. It looks a lot cleaner, good work!

closer up


only thing i didnt like is that the hook they used on the back fell out after i had test fitted it and tried to take it out

it was a good thing i had another reflector laying around so i used it's and put some epoxy on it and the other side aswell (just in case)
did your new reflector lights seem any larger than orginal issue reflector?
