D.I.Y Sidemarker Harness.
Since there is already a very well done and amazingly detailed D.I.Y. on how to install side markers.
I thought I'd throw in a D.I.Y. to make your own Side Marker harness. (I didn't feel like spending $20+ dollars on a harness) Total cost of this harness is about $1 for both. Amount of time, depends on if you make a pot of coffee and drink two cups or not. (15mins) Difficulty level... walking up stairs is harder. Two rolls of wire - $2 each. (total of 50 feet) Connectors (whole box) - $3 Heat shrink - $2 for 6 different colour tubes 4 inches long each So here it is... First make sure you have what you need for this project... Wire... ![]() Red and black, or whatever colours you like... I made each lead 7 feet long just for fun... ![]() Crimper... ![]() Stripper... ![]() Multi Meter... ![]() Connectors... ![]() Wire cutter , if you don't like using the one on the Stripper... ![]() Now look at the Marker socket, see the terminals, this is what we're going to attach the harness to... ![]() These will do perfectly... ![]() Need to open them up slightly to slip onto the terminals... ![]() Now to strip four ends of our wires, two red and two black... ![]() ![]() ![]() Slip on the connector ![]() Nice strong crimp... then test with multimeter for a good connect, tug slightly to see if it's secure... ![]() One side in... ![]() Then the other... ![]() Finished, with heat shrink wrap for added protection... *note... black charred marks due to using a lighter* ![]() Standard bulb ![]() Led Bulb (d'un know why it looks so blue, they are white leds.. ah well) ![]() Side by side.. ![]() Done. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
