taking off tails...
hows it done? tough? where do i get to the bolts from? i mgonna install the rest of my strobes tomorow...so would be good to know ahead of time! lemme know , thanks!
2 small hex head screws on the inside of your bed (for each side). One is right above the tailgate strap anchor, the other down towards the bottom of the bed. Obviously you'll have to open your tailgat to get to them.
sounds easy! is their acess to the back of the tail lights from under the truck?? where are the wires coming from...so i know where i can run my cables an stuff....and thanks for the quick reply....
oops, forgot about those...it's been a long time since I had mine out.
You can easily get wires up there from right below them, I had mine off to run some wires behind them and came up from beneath them. May need a coathanger or fish line though unless you got some stiff wires to run.
edit:misread your last post--yes, you have to take the lights out to get to the wires. Once they're off, it's easy to bring new wires in from underneath..

Hey Dr, Remove the Bolts from the tails and they pop out real easy. FYI the reverse housing is tight in there, so if your going to be drilling there be carefull. My strobes are touching my reverse lights ever so slightly, so try to avoid this. Then run the cables to the front under the truck through any holes you can find to keep them out of the way. To get into the cab I went through a pre-existing hole I found under the passenger side floor molding. Good Luck!
