Finally added my roof rear marker lights
#3
It was all DIY. The 3 center lamps are: TruckLite model #15250R http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs...3715&langId=-1
The mounts for them are: TruckLite model #00809 http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs...3951&langId=-1
The 2 corner lamps are: Weldon model # 5060-7000-10 http://www.weldoninc.com/PDFs/PDF_Ca...rker_Lamps.pdf
They are all LED's, and total cost was about $55

Mounting wasn't bad, but running the wires turned out to be a pain in the a$$. Each mount needed (2) 1/8" holes for the screws, and I drilled a 5/16" hole to run the wire. I thought I could feed it in, and it would follow across the top of the door and down the hinge side, where I could fish it out from the jack storage area. They kept hanging up somewhere in-between the inner and outer panel, so it took a lot of effort to finally get them through. That was probably the most time consuming part of the whole project.

I thought I would share another option, although I know most of you folks would not be interested in having a wing on your H3. It is a show vehicle. I do not even drive it in the rain, much less, off road it. "Different strokes for different folks," I guess. I can tell you, at night it is the most lit up vehicle on the highway.
The rear corners are actually H2 corners turned backwards. Looks good and works like a million dollars. The wing has a big LED strip all the way across that lights up the whole back of the vehicle. The LED taillights are super bright. That is also a light in the receiver hitch which is wired to the brake lights.
Actually, I realize it is way too much for most of you guys but just wanted to share a different approach to rear lighting. Have a great H3 day!

Thanks for the input on the rear lights. I appreciate that you provided part #"s and pictures.
Maybe a little install write up would be cool to do for all of us. I am curious as to where you ran the wiring for the hook up to the existing running light circuit(s) and what panels or (Inside/outside) moldings you had to remove to make this happen.
I too just installed the (Front) running light klt. As everyone has said, it was a little nerve racking to drill the roof line for the kit but after laying out the template, it went on really well. The front corner lights were really easy to install due to the (pre-marked) spots to drill out and mount.
I am totally sold on the light kit after the install. No wind noise at all from the kit. Makes a major difference in the look of the H3 ---------- Now, on to the rear lights !!!!
