16 Hole drilled and cleaned up – 58 viewsYou should end up with a hole @ 0.75cm wide by 1.5cm deep.
|
|
17 Feeding the cable – 60 viewsUnless you made a big hole, you will have to feed each line of the cable separately so that you can fit the connectors through. One both are inside the bumper, just keep feeding it in, wiggling if it seems to get stuck.
|
|
18 Feeding the cable – 56 viewsThe wiring comes out around the back of the bumper and you should be able to see it up near the exhaust pipe. Pull it down and round so that it runs along the bumper mountings.

13 On a battery with lights off - very bright – 74 viewslights up whole reflector ;)
|
|
12 On a battery with lights on – 75 views
|
|
04 Sizing things up – 50 viewsLay the LED strip onto the reflector to allow you to mark out where to cut. I took a risk and trimmed one of the LED strips to save having to make cut outs at both ends. Strip still worked ;)
|
|
10 Fix – 64 viewsClamped at both ends and popped into the vice for the middle part (Needs this compression as the silicon LED strip is just a tiny bit thicker than the gap.
|
|
11 All back together – 57 viewsNow for the back bumper and the wiring :D
|
|
07 Putting it all together – 55 viewsThere is just about sufficient space between the red part and the grey part for the LED strip (especially if you squeeze a bit ;) ) Plan is for the power leads to be cut into the bumper.
|
|
08 Sticking the LED – 61 viewsOnce happy with location and alignment, peel off the backing and stick LED to grey part
|
|
09 Glue – 58 viewsUsed Bostik all purpose adhesive on both parts
|
|
01 - reflector and leds – 49 viewsreflector removed and scrubbed (they get mucky back there)
LED's came from a guy called madbitz on eBay. he cut the lengths to size for me (20cm), red with a black background. I got a the lower brightness ones, but i reckon the brighter ones might be better with this mod. Ho hum...
