Very difficult seeing where you are turning in the pitch black where we live. Headlights do not have much spread.
I Added LED lamps on the lower front fascia powered by a simple time delay relay circuit triggered by the turn signals.
Relay and components were installed in front of the wheel liner on each side up high, turn signal trigger from the side marker light and 12V power from the Ign fuse in under hood fuse box using a add on fuse adapter.
Lights are very bright, 7/8" dia. and recessed flush into the fascia.
Will try them out tonight in the dark. Tested one in the driveway at night before permanent install and it really lit up good.
The only thing I could not do was pick up a 12V source off the lights so they would only work when the lights were on. Low beams are off when High beams are on so could not use either of those circuits and did not want to try to run a wire into the dash to get the power at the switch. Tried using the parking lamp power but that made the lights flash because they are also turn signals.
Came out good, very unnoticeable.
Sorry about the sideways pics of the wiring in the fender, they are correct on the computer but upload sideways?
I have included the circuit if anyone wants to duplicate.
