currently working on a new mod....

this mod is gonna be for you guys that wanna do the 98-00 swap to the 01+ front end.... now during the swap you would normally either diconnect one bulb holder or hide the bulb al together i am currently working on a bulb that will let you reuse the second bulb holder to perform the turn signal mod... i loved that the oe turns worked on the side as well... or atleast a little bit. and i happened to think about it and came up with this idea... i'll try to get a pic/video of version one.....

what no pics wth man

 

havent gotten any close to finished yet.... just made the prototype and didnt even have it completely finished when i went to test it....

 

so you pretty much swap the plugs so the corner light is the 'unused' socket in most swaps?

 

yeah basically....

 

seems like a good idea to me. easier than the blinker mod.

 

Hey if anyone has a 01+ front end that wants my 00 il be more than happy to swap

 

lol i got all my stuff off of evilbay for right around 300... and got a few misc fastners from lmctruck for 6-7 bucks....

 

yeah eventually i wanna get it to where i have a bunch of the corner sockets and the bulb socket for the turnsignals and it should be just plug and play....

 

ok guys here are some mock up pics of v1 of the turn signal mod for the 98-00 to 01+..... now remember these are no where near finished....

3157 connector


turn signal connector with new wiring


ignore the crappy cell pics... will try to get better pics tomorrow when finished.... and for those of you that want to get buggmans led adapters that go under the 06+ ranger badges i believe i have found a way to hook them up to flash as well with this mod....

 

As long as its cleaned up and the contacts are hidden real nicely in some wire loom, it should turn out quite well atually

 

looking good

 

well guys version 1 is just about finished.... gotta put a couple more coats of liquid tape on and then the wiring loom cover for an oe look and put on my truck to test... hopefully i should be able to offer them to you guys pretty cheap... oh sorry for the delay my soldering iron went kaput so i had to do it the old fashion way... thank god i had a torch here at the house.... pics of v1 finished hopefully tonight....

 

well version one is finished and took a couple of pics and hope to get a video of them on the truck sunday....

 

Wow dude, that's clean! Good job

 

thanks man..... yeah i just hope it works like i think it will if not back to the drawing board.... lol

 

looks good, way to go man

 

the only thing is i may have to mod the bulb holders for the corners so they will fit in the corner housings.... hope i dont have to

 

Very Niiice.

I think one of the 4 thingies that stick out on the bulb holders is larger than the others, but it should be easy enough to trim down with an x-acto knife.

 

yeah i'm gonna try it without modding first i had to mod my corners to allow for the oe harness when i did the swap....
