    I completely agree.  I did it because the factory light was so useless it may as well not be there.  It was just enough light to make incredibly angry.

    Wow. That 3rd Gen write up worked on the 2nd gen hood.    Oh please share the details. I want to know what you ordered for parts.

Nice, I should do it just so I'll never have to use it at night. It's when you're not prepared is when things happen.

I used existing holes where the hood meets the grill to mount them.  Ran wiring through the stiffener channels on the underside of the hood.  Brought the wires into the existing light enclosure and soldered them to the contacts for the factory bulb.  The factory switch inside the bulb housing turns them on and off.

 

 

the only issue with them is clearance to close the hood.  The lights have to be rotated down parallel to the grill to close the hood, but it's super easy to do.  The brackets they come with pivot.

I should con you into writing an article on this for others. I'm sure others would jump on it.

Yep the one in 3rd gen works.  It's almost exactly the same.
