LED Lights Done!

Re: LED Lights Done!
I mounted mine to 1/2" aluminum strips and then mounted the strip to the seat bases. This way if I ever have a problem I can take the bolts out and work on the lights while on the strip.

Very nice. They must have changed the bins under the benches because in my Sweetwater this would not have workedCOTTS4x4 wrote:I mounted mine to 1/2" aluminum strips and then mounted the strip to the seat bases.

Re: LED Lights Done!
I did my lights half way through last season and after the first few weeks was not very happy with the results. I didn't have a good way to secure the lights under the benches, just tried to use adhesive. I took this weekend to completely redo the project.
I used aluminum channels with a diffuser plate. Then I used extreme temp glue to adhere the aluminum to the benches, then I pop riveted them, those suckers aren't falling off. I've got everything wired to the accessory switch on the dash with a dimmer added in-line. I'm pretty happy with the new results.

Sorry Valet, but I couldn't stay focused on your pics when I clicked them due to the 4 ad images that were being displayed.

Grr I use an ad blocker so I didn't see them. Had no idea! I'll upload the images to a different server tonight!

Oh, keep the pics on that site -- I quite enjoyed those ads.
