Default Raptor Grill Lights Mod

I really like the look of the raptor grill lights and I had 3 two bulb LED marker lamps beatin around. so I took some plastic project board measured it up and cut out a piece that would bolt up the the center 2 grill bolts. measured down so the bulbs would show in the first grill bar opening and placed the lights equally spaced. used a terminal strip to wire it all up(which i may regret after the weather starts hitting it) and ran the 2 wires down the hoof and along side the right fender and spliced into the park lamp circiut. fairly easy mod, took about 3 hours. making the braket and measuring to get it looking good was the hardest part. I will post more pics tonight when it gets dark but heres what it looks like now.

Looks like you put a lot of work into that, but I definitely am not digging those exposed hot leads on the terminal block, especially without a dedicated fuse!

Pics at night coming up in a bit, gotta put the kids to bed. Any ideas on weatherproofing the terminal strip? I was thinking of hitting it with a can of undercoater, anyone know if its none conductive?

Clear silicone is what we use at work. sticks together mostly if you ever had to peel it off for whatever reason.
