Been a busy week. Got my new LED marker lights installed.

rear: http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=33802&title=cab-lights-rear&cat=5355

front: http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=33801&title=cab-lights-front&cat=5355

These are the lights I got from eBay for $8 ea. The red ones only had a single wire lead, so I had to do some dremel work to expose a solder pad for the ground wire. Not too difficult. And as others have pointed out, the wiring polarity was not consistent, so I'm glad I checked it before connecting them. Thanks to all for that tip. Some of the molly anchors were rusted out, so I had to replace them. Again not too much of a problem.

They look nice though, don't they! Smile
