I started to do this myself, but at this point in life quickly realized I'm past the point of wanting roll around on the ground in the Texas summer heat and getting the readers out to look for colored wires. I simply called a local independent car audio shop who said "no problem". I went through the instructions with him (you should do this as he thought he was going to have to take the bumper off!) I told the kid what I learned off here (possible short lead to the passenger side if not run right, and relay may not reach to the back of the fuse box for mounting. Also, be careful when hooking wire harness up as it may push pins back). I also copied post #153 from 4doorharley and told the kid I wanted it like this for the courtesy feature to work. Exactly one hour later my car was being pulled back around and everything works perfectly! 100% with no lights on and 70% with. Turn signals and courtesy function. It's a perfect match to the switchbacks I already had in place of the original turn signals (YES, I CAN STILL CHANGE BULBS!). The shop kids all thought it was pretty cool and commented on ease of installation! Well done Dan! This is exactly what the Edge needed! The only thing to monitor now is durability. They've already been through a thunderstorm and all is good. Can't wait to see what you may or may not be doing for the rear lights! BTW, total cost for my air conditioned comfort, $75. Well worth it to me!

Well done Dr. Edge!! Thank you for the time to document and post, exactly what I'm wanting to do!! You say you had to 'grind away a couple plastic rivets' to get the diffuser bars out. How did you get them back in and stay in place?

Frybel, Great post! Thanks for taking the time, this is exactly what I've been wanting to do also. My questions is...Do you think it was possible to leave the diffuser bar in place and have the new lights simply shine through it? I'm thinking of trying to cut the hole in the back for the new light bar shine through the diffuser and still have the current system light up when the head lights come on (extra light at night). I like the diffuser bar as it also gets a lot of compliments (people don't know if it's neon or what). It just doesn't' come on during the day and is too dim for daylight anyway. Just wondered if you think this might be possible from what you experienced?

Does everyone think YOGREGB mounted these new light bars behind the lenses that are already on the current LED bars? I've not looked under there yet to see how this might be done.....
