Hummer H3For the Hummer driver who wants the rugged look and off road capabilities of the Hummer, but in a smaller size and with a more fuel economy friendly engine.
Got this pic from Gunner_45 in a PM which he borrowed from the guy who posted it on another forum...... I bet these put out some serious light, but they would require some cutting of the plastic lower fender.
That is not going to be so easy. There is only 1.5" of clearance behind the corner cover (outside #8) before you hit the plastic corner panel extension (#9) and impact bar (other half of #8). Most all of those cube lights are pretty standard 3" + depth. So that means taking apart the rear fender to find another way to fasten that other half of #8 to #9, as that is what the bolt behind the little round pop out #12 is doing, even if you can cut out a continued hole in #8 & #9. I am going to look at it later with more thought, but I wasn't looking for so much work.

Add up how much time THIS install will take and divide by the time it takes to R&R the setup I suggested using quick disconnects. Now use that number and see if you'll need safety chains THAT often, (remember, youngest is done with college)..........hummmm??

So, good news, I found these sweet little double LED lights to use for the H3....... all by myself, no help or suggestions from any of you guys, thanks a lot..
They come with a decent pre-wired tail, I just added a Weather Pack 2 pin connector to it.
Made a template w/ cardboard, taped it in place for the required a bit of cutting with an oscillating saw, then some tweaking with a box cutter as the shape of the back of the light is not perfectly rectangle, curved out more in the centers.
Just made up a harness with matching wires to the light's black and red(+) using 1/4" loom, tapped the reverse light with the red, used a ground ring and attached it to the chassis ground driver side front of first cross member using the original bolt. Even cleaned up that ground while I was in there.
