The BTTF conversion required removing the front marker lights. The gaskets were dry rotted, and one of the light sockets was very corroded. Before reinstalling the lights, I opted for some upgrades.
I was still using incandescent bulbs, so opted for LEDs. I also got a light socket from the same vendor:
I purchased the side marker flasher from DM-eng. This allows the side marker lights to flash with the turn signals. Sorry, I didn’t get any pictures of the installation.
While troubleshooting a few items, I upgraded my front turn signal LEDs, and finally purchased the correct LED flasher relay. My previous relay wasn’t the correct type, and I had used jumper wires to make it work.
I already had the following supplies on hand:
- Heat shrink tubing
- 16 gauge primary wire (red)
- 14 gauge primary wire (black)
