The footwells were the first mod I did on my truck when it was new. I didn't know much about the trucks layout and didn't realize all the wires were under the door sills. I actually tapped into the front dome light then ran the wire down the pillar to the footwell. So the lights come on when the door is open. I ran the same wire under the carpet for the rear footwells. There's a cutout under each seat for the electrical connections.

 

question: lets say you put the white led in the front turn signal and add a load resistor to each and have to use the splice clamp... What happens if you get pulled over and get a fix it ticket and need to switch back to stock bulb, will they work with the load resistor still mounted or would it not draw enough power?

 

My guess says it will work but will flash fast unless you have a HD flasher. If you have tow package on your truck, you probably have a HD flasher. Not sure how accurate I am regarding the technologies our trucks have. I'm thinking back to the old days when we had flashers that looked like silver cans in the fuse box. Our trucks have electronic flashers.

 

It would take no time to remove the resistor

 

but isnt the clamp splicing into the main power lead and negative of the socket? how would you go about connecting the wire to the socket if you take the resistor off?

 

The resistor is spliced into the wire before the socket, it just ads a load and you don't actually cut any wire apart.

 

ahhhh i see... well thats good to know. Thanks for all your help Kidastra, seriously! btw you got that amazon link to the lower bumper grille? And i asked this in the plastidip thread but never heard anything answer... would plastidip on rims hold up a washington state winter? (lots of rain and light snow) i remember i read somewhere that people actually use plastidip to protect wheels during the winter, but was wondering if it will hold up constant rain, dirt and snow. thanks again

 

That's the grill
I have no experience with plastidip on wheels but on my emblems the hold up to the winter without any issues

 

Here's a pic to better understand the wiring

 

thanks again... i think thats the same grille on ebay. will show finished product in a couple weeks.
