I plan to use water resistant connectors so I can unplug and remove the fender vent completely if need be. Just leaving slack to pop it off allows it to swing and scratch paint if you have to pop it off again. I have these LEDs in my cart. I will be wiring them up only to the turn signal flash circuit.I love the good ideas for simple and inexpensive modifications for our beloved Mavericks.
After reading through the posts on this thread, I decided to proceed with this mod using the short, oblong light bar install luciusxlt completed. Was very easy to complete.
Couple of notes:
1) Highly recommend using plastic trim removeable tools as suggested by DAD in the first post of this thread.
2) I removed the side badges and installed the lights in my "workshop" (actually dining room table). On the first I made the hole for wiring a bit too bit and had to repair it. With that knowledge, the other side was completed much more precisely. I wish I had a small Dremel-like tool to complete creating an appropriate size hole for this part as it would have been more easily and accurately completed.
3) After replacing the badge with light back in the vehicle, I pulled the wire up toward the front of the vehicle near the turn signal and connected the wires. After getting done with side 1, I realized if I needed to remove the badge going forward, I would have to disconnect the wires as there was no slack from front to back. Again, I corrected that faux pas on the second side, providing enough slack in the wire to easily remove the badge without having to disconnect the wires.
A few pictures to show the badge in process of being built and picture of badge opening to help others understand where the snap connectors are located.
