Very nice for sure....and I can see how they would be helpful, safety wise, during high speed lane changes...

That's smooth. I'm actually looking at doing something similar between the front and rear doors or mine.

Where did you tap into the lights at? Up by the front fender? And did you have to add a resistor or anything?

Default Thanks.

No resistor.. Just tapped into the fender lights (after doing the mod for that..) I took a few deep breaths before cutting the hole.. but I'm happy with it. One of my friends bought the same, but also for the back fenders too. Not sure where I'm gonna get the wire to the front, but we will try..

Couldn't the wiring for the back fenders be tapped into the rear turn signal wires?

If you got amber for the rear, I wouldn't, simply because they will also act as brake lights... I would tap them into the front, so they are only activated as turn / hazard lights.

Unless, you got red LEDs for the back, in which case I would tap into the rear lights... for the same reason I wouldn't if you got ambers...

To the OP... great looking setup... I thought about something similar, but in the door mirrors...
Your setup looks great!

This looks awesome! Great job with the mod. It may be a cool idea for the rear fenders/bumper for just tapping it into the hazard circuitry... add a little more protection. I may do this for traffic control...

Great idea!

Were all the parts from that one site?
