I found a blank fuse spot under the dash that was switched on key power. I installed an add a fuse and ran the wires up front.

I am just curious how it looks at night?

It looks really cool. Especially with my amber side markers on along with these LEDs. My jeep friend is even impressed

Anyone know if these could be tied into the turn signal lamps so that they blink with the turn signals? While they certainly look cool just lit up — I would want extra functionality with them if possible...cause other drivers are idiots of course, and anything I can do to help prevent them from running into me is a good thing.
I'm curious if combining LEDs and normal bulbs on the same circuit is OK. Wouldn't the normal bulb provide enough resistance to prevent the LED hyper flash too?

We done OP, I like the look a lot. I found these http://a.co/gVDAges on Amazon. How did you wire yours in, turn on with the markers?

I suspect yes, you can wire them on with your markers and inline to flash with your turn signals using a pair of relays in series. I like the idea  I might try it.
In my experience, LEDs draw so little voltage that combining them would probably be best. If using LEDs in lieu of standard bulbs you'd probably want to add a resistor.

If anyone is interested in brighter corners, my 7443 retrofitted corners are for sale. Built using 100% OEM parts(aside from LED).

Following the OPs lead, I ordered two of these Ozmium LEDs from Amazon and will install them this weekend.
I am thinking about placing them INSIDE my headlamp, upper inside corner on the flat/wavy triangle behind the glass.
Regardless where I install them, I will probably wire them to turn ON with the marker lights.
I might use the filler panel below the headlamp for an LED turn signal/DRL combo possibly using something like this -> http://a.co/4kxcV7I
White LED DRL and flashing Amber when turn signal is on (3-wire connection)

Just came across this question... you should be able to (1) IF you have conventional incandescent bulb for your turn signal (i.e., 26-watt 1156's), and (2) IF your turn signal is switched positive (which most signal lights are).
Wire this way:
1) Positive side Oznium Bolt LED light to positive of marker light circuit.
2) Negative side of the Oznium LED to positive of TURN SIGNAL that side.
The added Oznium LEDs will blink alternately with the stock turn signals.
Similar to how I wired my first-gen:

Next only to our senses, the multi-meter is the most important electrical diagnostic tool. Spend $6 at Harbor Freight or $$$ blindly replacing parts.

I like this! In your video I like how the lights alternate. Also I hadn't thought of a low mounted rear blinker like that either. Kinda like that too.

Should be a piece of cake. Just need to verify your turn signal wiring / color code / wire Identification. Also...
NOTE: For best/guaranteed results, use LED lights for the marker/clearance/parking lights and conventional incandescent bulb (OR LED with resistor in parallel) for stock turn signal.
Low-mounted is basically same as the rear side markers on 80's cars and the FJ80, but wired to blink alternately with stock turn signals.
Someday, I'll wire up the front corner clearance lights to also blink at same time as the fender-mounted one. Should be a half-hour job.
How it works explained here.

LEDs spliced to side markers now halogens won't work.
Sorry y'all don't really understand how this posting a question things works but this thread is as close as I could find to post in, #newb #jerry but anyway i wanted to add some LED lights in sequence with my side markers/running lights so i spliced in wires and then ran those to some amber LED's I got from eBay the LED's turned on with my headlights and work as the side markers lights would. But now the halogen lights that are in the side markers won't come on. Before I wired the LED's in the halogens were working as they should even with the new wires spliced in. Any help is much appreciated just trying to have both lights work I'll post some photos for reference tomorrow.
