EZ Dash ABL Install Method

With the introduction of thin flexible silicone led light strips it makes it ezer to install dash ABL lighting than using non-flexible acrylic light pipes. Using the below kit only 2 of the 4 power wires are used, no modification to the dash appliqués is needed and only two dash drill holes are required. As soon as weather permits I’ll be doing a driveway install. I already plotted the wire runs, test fit the led strips along the dash appliqué and selected the ice blue color which matches the door abl perfectly.

I first thought there would be no drilling needed but when test fitting the led strips around the appliqué corner ends to connect to the light wires it creates a bulge that prevents the strip from sitting flush in the appliqué corners, hence the need to drill a hole in the dash behind each side of the speed cluster to position the led light ends where the light strips are attached. The other end of the light strip just end at the appliqué ends.
