Default Blew my bulbs

Did the mod with the battery connected. Blew my bulbs. Hate it when that happens.

These two looms meet about an inch from the edge of the inside of the fender edge, adjacent to the headlights. With the grill removed there's plenty of space to cut and splice the black marker wire to the white stripped grill signal, and enough room to wrap a weather seal around the scotch lock splice.

Great recommendation for an excellent modification.
Did the same thing without grille removal using a pois-tap connector. Took about 15 minutes total. Simply awesome.

So all I need to do is cut the black from the (fender flare light) and tap it into the to white wire that isn't at the center at the front amber lamp.

What becomes the ground for the "fender light"

That's about it. Did mine almost a year ago with no problems so far. It really does help.
