Not to keep reiterating what everone else has said - but this really couldn't be easier. Great mod!

Holy Shite!! Just happened to find this thread while on my phone on the shitter at work and figured "what the hell, give it a try". Well it was super easy and worked great!! Had a little scare at first... got one side done and no side lite at all. But then I just gave the splicer piece a little better squeeze with the channel locks and all was good!! Thanks!!!!

I know some people were saying you needed to add some wire to extend out the wire lead for the turn signal light. I took my headlights out of the buckets after taking off the grille to give me better access to the harness. I was able to remove some of the split loom on the harness then cut the black wire on the harness side closer to the firewall. By doing this I did not have to add wire to the signal light black lead, The harness plug for the turn signal is intact so if I dedcide to change out lights it should remain plug and play. An the biggest plus is that it looks stock and the splice is out of sight behind the loom.

Default Is Buchwacker markers different?

I did this and it works but only partly. They only come on when i turn on the parking lights. Then they blink opposite of the front lights. 09 JK with bushwhacker flats.

Thanks
