DIY: How I installed an accent light strip behind the front grille

[Stewart]

* Fuse #11 will turn lights on when car is running and off
when not.

* Used a 10amp fuse for lights (probably over kill).

* After making connection of positive wire from light to the add a circuit
use "shrink tube" on the connection.

* There are 2 additional 10mm bolts not pictured that are needed to be
removed from cover to remove it.

* The torque screws that are circled on plate do not need to be removed
as they are for hood height adjustment, just be careful when removing
not to scratch your paint.

* I grounded the lights to the closest bolt that secures the top of radiator
to car.

Thank you, I picked them up from Phastek. They were having a sell on the white ones for around $30.00. The kit came with 2-15" strips, wire connections and a switch. I did not use the switch as I wanted it to come on when the car was started.

Just an up date, had to use 3M two sided tape on the strip that I bought from Phastek, as the adhesive strip on the lights failed. So, if you get theirs or similar I would add the tape before installing to save you time in the future. Lights still look good New picture was taken near dusk with the new bowtie emblem installed
