    Dude that mount costs maybe $5.00 for all the hard ware for each light. Im just glad I gotta ace hardware right down the road and a home depot about 15 mins away.

    Do u have any pics of how u wired them to the running lights? With my four I figured how to make them blink when i hit my turn signal, when I wired them to each separate side... Wish I could do it on these but there's a third wire that I don't have to wire to the LEDs.

    The rubber spacer lets it sit flat do it can be seen through the hex holes, since mine are on the inside of the grille, I had to run wiring up under the heat protector under the hood so that I could put them on there cause the newer models have our hood connected to the grille.

    did you already wire them to the blinkers? i thought you needed a certain flasher for LEDs. i dont have any pictures at the moment. I wires them into my park lights. right whre the radiator is in the truck (it should be set up some what the same to yours.) right above the radiator there is the engine crossmember. there is a large plastic wire loom running from the passenger side to the drivers side, inside that loom theres a brown wire that is the power wire to the parking lights. i stripped the wire casing back with a razor blade and soldered the 3 wires to that wire.


    what doyou mean theres a 3rd wire? a 3rd wire on the LED?

    No on mine I used the turn signal bulbs, which are the same as the running lights, they have a
    black-power
    Brown-ground
    Green/white stripped- I assume this is the blinking wire.
    Where as on the 97-03 there are only two wires.
    So in my 2001 I had two led's wired to each turn signal, and the signal was caused by a neglect of power, so they would turn on and off, thus blinking.
    So with two led's in each, they would blink with the turn signals, I didn't wire them like u did at all... I just wired them into my turn signals in the corner lights...
