  1. The Short Bus Project: Clear Bedliner, Switches and Relays

    Looks a little cleaner. I bet I'll have the fog lights done before April.

    I'll use 10 gauge wire to handle 18 amps if I put in 100 watt bulbs. That may be too bright, though. 42w and 55w are also available for the H10 bulb.

    If the lenses get damaged it should be easy to source parts and change them out. Complete light pairs with the housing shrouds are only $60. A single light is $25.

    Swaging the terminals on to the wires is a learned thing. After 10 tries I got much better. Wonder if a pro tool would make a difference. Too much wire, I'll have to remove one foot panel and pull it through another time. It's cold tonight! Hoping to get relay box done this weekend. 2015-2017...

    The plastic plate on top of the shock tower gave access with only a single body screw removed. Getting washers and nylon nuts started from below was challenging. I'll probably only mount the relays with 2 or 3 bolts, depending how much trouble they are when I go back to attach more lights. My...

    Found these on Etsy. Simply light housings from a cad print with no lights or wires. DIY. They're a little too orange but I think I'm going to use them anyway.

    There are clear rubber dust particles in the spray that makes a nice, fine grippy surface. Multiple coats are necessary. And it stinks. Plenty of ventilation and a VOC mask are needed.

    It dries pretty quick. 45 minutes between coats. It's kind of thin so multiple coats are the way to go. And it is stinky. Plenty of ventilation is necessary. I was surprised how little prep was needed according to the can. Clean it then use a paint prep degreaser. Masking makes a difference...

    Just take one step at a time. Rather than install one set of lights at a time, I am trying to build it as I want it to be in the end. Once I get through the switches and relays I can tackle one set at a time. First will probably be the side markers in the fender badges.

    The switches ended up at about $100, wire and relays will bring it to about $350. Front lighting will be $350, rear $150, side $150 and underbody $30. That's a lot of money for novelty, but the thought of it all completed is pleasing

    Custom switch plates! ...not until it's all operational. It'll be the last thing.
