This is a pic for all the ppl that want to add ABL to your car that do not have the factory ABL connectors and don't want to t-tap or splice the wires, This is 100% plug and play, And works on the dimer so it gos dark, Its made for 3 ABL light to plug in and can be made for more light as will as any thing you can think of.

Nice. Where does that connect to?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 02-03-2011, 06:22 PM

The 4 pack it the same as the HUD but without the HUD connectors. LOL

I can say that this harness IS awesome, and is the perfect length to fit behind the speedo and tach with a little room to spare. 1 on a 1-10 PITA scale to install.

Yeah, yeah, you have a perfect ABL install, lol. I'm jealous! Hopefully I'll be able to get mine fixed this weekend!

Gene Culley · 02-05-2011, 01:15 PM

Isn't one of the connectors supposed to be long enough for the passenger side LED though?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 02-05-2011, 05:55 PM

No the GM lights are long, So no need for two long wires.

ah, OK. My ABL lights haven't come in yet, so wasn't sure.

Gene Culley · 02-05-2011, 06:44 PM

Ok, so I had some fun today with the ABL. I'll post some pictures below, but it wasn't a fun day, lol. The angle to get the tubes to backlight the panel is a bit** to get figured out and get put in there correctly. I'm very picky so it took me some time to get the passenger side done.

The driver side is a real joy to work with. I had to cut the pipe down like 3 times because I had too much pipe in there. I'm not 100% happy with how far the panel comes out, from the top, on the driver side, but it is what it is I guess. From looking at the other pictures here, others have the same gap in the drivers panel at the top. It is really hard to photograph the lighting properly, but it looks really cool when you sit in the vehicle.

Thanks to everyone here for giving me the information and thanks to Ofer for some information and the harness and pipes.

If anyone has any better idea of how to cut down the gap in the drivers panel at the top, let me know. It isn't huge or anything, but sticks out further than I think it should. The pictures are lousy, because it does not appear to be 100% even, but it is, but I did the best I could since the ABL is hard to photograph.

I will probably be doing my own write-up in a different thread about all of the modifications I'll be doing to my vehicle.
