Moving on to lights. I mounted up my frog eyes the other day. Temporarily wired up the headlights and tail lights to test function and my wiring. All worked with the blinkers having the hyperflash because of the LEDs. I already bought some of the resistors mentioned in other builds and connected them at all four corners and it took care of the wicked quick flashing. I want to put the resistors near the BCM at the foot well like
@Karter2026 did on his car.
Today I started tidying up the light wiring. I added some 5-wire waterproof flat plugs in line with the headlights so I can swap them out if needed. I used the same light pod setup that many of you guys did. Boy, I did a lot of soldering today.
My workstation.
The backside of the pods all finished up. You can see the 1" square tube that I used for a pod mount.
I also mounted up some Amazon sourced tube mounted UTV mirrors instead of the normal crotch rocket mirrors. I like the metal clamp and body on these. I may have them powder coated to match the body. Most likely will.
On to the rear lights. These functioned electrically the other day. I drew up a bolt on adapter for them. I laser cut it out of 1/4" baltic birch as a working prototype. I left it a little long at the bottom for when I add backup lights later. The lights are some motorcycle tail lights..from Amazon too. Cheap. The "smokiness" of the lights are different from each other. lol. 0/5 do not recommend. They'll do for now though.
I'll tackle the rear wiring tomorrow, using the same type of waterproof plugs that I used in the front. I hope to get the resistors mounted all up too.
These tail lights are probably getting swapped out in the near future. I keep the wooden bracket on there until I find a rear light that I like.
