I was thinking about putting on the marker lights on my tahoe, like the ones that a lot of f-350s have.
Something like this

Has anyone else on here done this? I'm not sure how hard it is to mount and wire them, but would love to see pics if anyone else has these or could say how hard install is, or just offer opinions

Pic of my tahoe for reference:

I don't have any pictures but have done a bunch for dealerships. It's pretty easy. I like to get 3" masking tape and mask off the general areas I want to mount them. I then partially let down enough of the headliner to see if there's any obstructions. If there are, I measure around them. I mark the tape and put a super magnet near where I want to drill then get some holes drilled. I use strip caulk to seal the holes even though the lights have their own gaskets. I run all wires to the driver's side then down the a pillar and catch the parking lights.

Thanks for the info. How long does the whole setup usually take?

Would love to do it but scared to cut into the metal..

I crossed that bridge when I installed my backup camera and drilled a one inch hole behind my tail light. I was surprised how powerful a drill I needed

On a seperate note, I was gonna replace the bumper lights with clear lights, but will that look weird with the amber roof lights?

Thanks for the video. Does the relay usually come with the light kit?
