5th Gen Marker Lights in Grill

Got mine installed at a local shop...no zip-ties. Project-LED continues, interior lights done, back up bulb complete. Low beam, High-DRL and fog lights from XD expected by mid next week.

I see your yellow markers in the grill are on with no other visible signs of DRL's or running lights on.
How are they triggered?
Switch or tied into a circuit that is powered when the ignition is on?
 
Awesome thread. Got mine installed about a week or so ago. Went on a wheeling trip w/ a lot of fog and got compliments on how the amber lights cut through the fog. Cheers!!

Thank you kind sir. They are the same ones from post #26 by Shred_Head.

They light up amber even though the color on the website says yellow.

Can you get us a close up photo of the mounting of one from the front and back, so we can see how they are mounted?
I imagine you just daisy chained the wiring...correct?

Thanks in advance! :D

Correct on the daisy chaining. I'd be happy to post up a front and back shot. Won't be able to get it till tomorrow sometime though due to rain and enough light.

Would have tried to upload a pic earlier, but I where I work they don't allow electronics and I completely forgot to at least bring my phone with me to leave in my vehicle like I usually do. Luckily I had my tablet and was able to snap a quick pic so you don't have to wait too long. The light are essentially a bolt with a nut attached to them. I just wedged each light in the corner of each part that i mounted them too and tightened the nut in the back of the grill. So far it's been sturdy and has not moved at all. Even checked them after my short wheelin trip this weekend and had no issue. I'm planning on cleaning the wiring up a little in the future because right now I just have all the wires routed with zip ties and the little stickies that you can run the zip ties through. If the lights ever become loose, I was thinking about grabbing a really thin piece of metal from Home Depot to put behind the grill and then just mounting the lights on the so they will sit deeper into the grill. If you still want me to snap a quick pic of behind the grill with the wires and everything [MENTION=103267]Saker[/MENTION], just let me know and I'll do that as soon as I get home.

Thanks, this is great....
Whether I decide to do this or not, it helps others.
 
Has anyone wired up the amber lights to a switch instead of the marker lights or headlights or ignition?
I asked that same question to my guy who will install them for me. He said why bother putting a switch when i want it always on whenever i turn the headlights on. I told him what if i just wanted the markers on? He said well go get switch and waste your money. I like the guy, honest.
