15 Take the Drill to the bumper – 52 viewsYou have to drill at an angle to avoid damaging the black or painted bumper parts. I started off with a small pilot drill making three small holes in a line then moved up to an "8" and just waggled that about until they all joined together. Clean up the scraggy bits with a craft knife or similar. Its all plastic, nothing to go rusty so no additional protection needed.

14 The reflector and the bumper mounting. – 63 viewsNote the position of your wiring coming out of the reflector, so that you drill the hole in the right place!

13 On a battery with lights off - very bright – 74 viewslights up whole reflector ;)
|
|
12 On a battery with lights on – 75 views
|
|
11 All back together – 57 viewsNow for the back bumper and the wiring :D
|
|
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.
|
|
09 Glue – 58 viewsUsed Bostik all purpose adhesive on both parts
|
|
08 Sticking the LED – 61 viewsOnce happy with location and alignment, peel off the backing and stick LED to grey part
|
|
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.
|
|
06 The other end – 46 views
|
|
05 One end of red part cut back – 48 viewsI used a junior jigsaw to cut the verticals, scored the edge with a sharp knife, then broke off the offending part with a pair of pliers. Sanded down with green rough sand paper.
|
|
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 ;)
