Do you have any shots of this at night? Did you rig them up to their own switch?

Sorry no night shots.

No switch they are connected to the ACC circuit so on all the time. I just used an add-a-fuse and fished the wire through/around door pillar into engine bay.

They are mounted with two self-tapping screws. Just drill small holes in bumper.

looks really nice and well balance
I think I will get the same one
one thing concern me, does it draw lots of power from the battery
you know our FIT battery is so small....

Thanks Allan. They are only LEDs so do not draw that much. I meant only on when car is on. It would be easy to stick a switch in though on the bottom left of dash.

I will try to remember to take a night shot soon.

The prices is right. Not sure about those ones you see for around $40 what the difference would be. Maybe even brighter?

^^^ Thank you

New night pics. My lens fogged up taking it from cool AC to humid outside air. They are rather bright. Not bad for around $12.

While I was out there. A pic of my new white bulbs for the Caravan. Only $15 from E-Bay. We will see how long they last.
