Cool thanks

 

Well got it all wired up and works like a charm. Thanks for all your help. I actually used the factory side marker light ground for my ground and the positive for the parking light feed into the relay then I just had to tap into the blinker feed off the front light .

 

awesome, glad I could help.

Yeah right now I'm still running the stock heads but the retros I had done are with the aftermarket heads with the clear side markers so they'll look better when they're in them. Just figured I'd get them wired up so its one less thing I have to do when I'm wiring the retros

 

Just noticed something today and wanted to see if you have the same thing. When my parking lights are off and I put the blinker on , the switchback in my front parking light spot on the other side dimly flashes white. If the parking lights are on nothing happens. I even noticed if I hit my brakes both front switchbacks light dimly white. Not sure if its from this mod or from my line of fire that I hard wired in. I was thinking it was from the line of fire because nothing I did in the front has to do with the brakes. But I thought I'd ask.

 

Haven't had any problems. Everything is functioning like it should. I would disconnect the line of fire and see if you still have the same problem. If not, it's the line of fire.

I've never wired a line of fire, so can't help much there.

If it's not the line of fire, sounds like you are getting some feedback from the turn sig circuit to the park light circuit. Make sure all of the diodes are wired in properly.

Sounds like something simple, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

 

I figured if it was something in my wiring up front the brake lights shouldn't effect it. So that's why I'm figuring its something with the line of fire.

 

Well it wasn't the line of fire. Turns out it was the led bulbs I put in my tail lights. What LED bulbs are the best ones for the tails for parking and brake. Not sure why the bulbs were causing it but put the normal ones in and problem solved.

 

That's sucks and weird that the bulbs are the problem. I'd try reversing the bulbs in the sockets first to see if it still gives you the same problem.

I have LED brake housings, not bulbs, so I couldn't say which bulbs are the best. I'm not even sure that new bulbs would fix the problem.

A cheap fix that should fix the feedback problems is to add diodes to the brake/turn wire and park light wire at the brake light housing.

 

A cheaper fix is leave the standard bulb in there. Just glad it wasn't my wiring up front

 

Love those logo projectors! The "King Ranch" shows up nice and clear.

I've been wanting a set of projectors for my truck for awhile. I really want some that display "F150" or "FX4". Without having something custom made, all I can find for my truck is "Ford".

I got a set of "Pontiac" logo projectors for my wife's G8 GT last year for Christmas....but I still haven't installed them. It's finally warm enough here, so they'll get done soon.

 

Very cool, I never got to see the video on these. Looks very sharp.
