Well I finally got the off road light bar installed, wow was it stressfull drilling into the roof. Had everything installed put all the electrical back together, closed the hood, turned the key....NOTHING!!!, EVERYTHING DEAD except for the front lights ?. I checked all the wiring over and over and finally figured out the fuse box did not properly seat when I put everything back together. While I was working on the off road lights I added 2 marker lights and the wiring for the outside marker lights. I think I've had enough stress for today, I'm going to wait until tomorrow to install the 2 outside marker lights and the 5 rear marker lights which will require more drilling into the metal.

bobopotato, So when you mounted the two outside front marker lights, did you cut a slit in the pillar for the tab on the front of the factory marker lights ? If so what did you use to do so ?
Thanks again,
Jim

Hey bonzaii, what I did was to drill a hole in the piller piece, and then with the drill bit through the hole, pushed against the edge of the hole with the bit... that way because the piller piece is relatively soft, I could get an ellipse instead of just a circular hole... I then tested fitting the tab, and if it didn't fit, I enlarged the hole/ellipse a little bit more till the tab fit... it helps if you also drill the hole "slanted" as that's the angle the tab would have to fit in first... let me know if that helps!!

Yep, thats what I was thinking I would need to do. I had installed 2 of the small ones that I used for th inner two but did not like them as much as the factory ones you used, so I'll be installing tose tomorrow. I also have some wiring troubleshooting to do which is going to require removing the light bar again. Damn, two steps forward and one step back. The great thing is between the combo offroad and marker lights as well as the back marker lights I have something you can't just pick up at the store and bolt on.

Well as is usual for me another two steps forward and one back. All lights are now installed and wired up......BUT not all are working. Everything is working except I messed up some wiring on the two small inside marker lights. I'll give that a shot next week. I really like the look of the two OEM marker lights I added on the outside.
