2002 F150 Install ****Done**** ~~~NOW WITH PICS~~~

Post by OCSD117 »

Looking for the best place in the head, tail and backup lights to install strobes! Also where is a good place to run the strobe wires from the taillights into the cab??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mike

I was able to run all the lights. Two strobes in each taillight and one in each headlight. Two TIR 3's on a license plate bracket front and rear. Dual Talon above the rear view mirror. Two mini phantoms (Gen 3) in the rear window!

Pics to follow!

Just so you know the mini phantoms are not Gen 3. They are Gen 1!

In light speak, Gen 1 are the 5MM LEDs, Gen 2 and the TIR style LED's, Gen 3 are the Linear style refector with the TIR3 LED.
