DIY: of complete FOG LAMP install

No, the molding that you have to remove to remove the plastic liners... looks like a rain guard, soft, pliable....

lift up the weather strip and look inside the groove... you should see the imprint of where it once sat, there's usually two in there, so you can see how the other one is situated.

Okay, loving the idea of having one of these lights on my 10'. Just need to see if anyone is using the LED variant the Z-Store now has available. Almost like this idea more thinking that I won't have to worry about replacing bulbs along with a better match to the LED running lights. Also, after reading about all of the variations of install, would like to have the option of turning it off or on, but most importantly, to have it as an additional brake light. People always on my a%#. Feedback and comments dearly appreciated.
PS, getting ready to install new tuner, so thinking I can do all of the wiring at one time.

I've got the Z-Store LED variant and it works great. It's wired to flash in reverse, and come on solid with my brake lights.

Do you mind if I ask you a couple of question? First off, how does this unit mount? Don't show it as having the same backing as the normal style, or does it slip "into" the blank filler housing? . Also, did you wire in the on/off switch they sell too, or did you just tie into the existing rear wires. All i'm wanting to have is the blinking for backup along with the extra brake light. Will send thanks in advance. Wasn't sure if I should have sent you a PM or not.

If you want it to do multiple things you'll have to isolate the inputs using relays. And add a flasher unit for the blinking reverse light. Either that or you'll have to install a dual filament harness. Do you have experience wiring relays? I have a schematic in my album that you can use for a reference. If you need a schematic for your specific application PM me and Ill try to help.

As far as fitment the JDM lamp bolts right into place. Not sure about the Evo-r.

I know this thread is long but all the info you need is in here.

I thought I had read that if you use the LED variety, some of these features are already integrated within unit.
This has been the reasoning for me to post the original question. That being, if you use the Evo-R unit from the Z-Store, do you have to do anything differently to mount, along with using or not using the wiring kit they sell with the console switch.
No, i've not had a lot of electrical experience especially with wiring in relays and such. This is why I'm asking the questions "before" i decide to purchase.
Appreciate the comments. Probably just need to email the Z-Store with my questions..
