This thread is confusing! It's as confusing as which guy Kim Kardashian is currently sleeping with!

Ended up putting it on hold for the moment. I wired all the LED's to one and realized that I cant run the wires to the headlights or the battery itself since they (the LED's) will literally be on the grille and the grille raises with the hood (i.e. wires would rip out etc...). I need to get some long wire and run it along the hood into the switch like smoke mentioned.

Completely scrapped it for a while. I still have the LED's ready to go... just haven't had the motivation or time to dive into it.

I was going to secure them to the grille individually since it seemed convenient. I still have them in a box in my garage lol. Idk if i'll ever follow through with this mod. Way too many other home projects going on right now bleh!

so let me see if yall can help me out as well. im in the same boat of my grille comin up with my hood as well. But anyways heres my questions,

(planning on puttin in 4 of the same 10mm led bolts)

How exactly would you connect the 4 wires from the bolts into one wire?

When yall are talking bout connecting it into the parking light wire, is this right at the light or is it with the switch inside the cab?

I've been wanting to do this forever myself, but being completely electrical illiterate i have no clue what to do so it keeps getting pushed back.
