I thought about wiring them into the passenger marker and just having them as running lights, but I also thought I might like to have independent control of them and for the low cost and effort, I’d rather not monkey with my factory wiring.

Here's how the first draft turned out:




I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping to mount the markers higher in the slots but the slight bend in the grille didn't cooperate with the baseplate of the marker. I do like the grille inserts though and this setup didn't require me to do any modification to them. I'll likely keep shopping for alternative markers now that the wiring is complete and try to find something that is smaller and mounts near the top of the grille.

Really like the wiring harness as well. Went with a Nilight 4-lead harness and ran it into the 4-gang OE switch in the dash.
