Well hell that does sound easy, I'm impressed with how good they look. I'm always skeptical of these LED lights. Those look great though.Those lights look great Bernie.
Yeah, I'm super pleased with how they mount and how bright they are. Easiest lights I've installed. Drill a 3/4" hole, pop in the grommet, pop in the light, connect the wires, done.

That would be cool, those boxes are dark at night and trying to hold a flashlight when digging for stuff is a pain.Well hell that does sound easy, I'm impressed with how good they look. I'm always skeptical of these LED lights. Those look great though.Those lights look great Bernie.

I was skeptical too, especially for the price ($5 each), but these are nice and bright, meet DOT requirements, have three LEDs in each instead of just one, and are completely sealed (the "lens" is molded around the LEDs as one piece). I picked the clear lens models because they blend in better when they're off, but they also have them with color lenses, and they come in other colors too, like green, purple, blue and white.
I'm seriously thinking of getting six of the white ones and installing them in the side boxes with pin switches, for illumination inside the boxes at night, and maybe two more ambers for side turn signals.

And you can't beat $5 a piece, Regular sidemarkers usually cost at least that much. Where did you get them, I might want to get some? And how deep are they? I've been looking for some white lights like that to mount in the bottom of the mirrors on my wife's car since she keeps saying she wished her car had puddle lamps like my truck has. If I mounted those in the bottom of the mirror housing aimed at the ground that would be sweet!
I'll see what I can do for ya... Never got around to it today, too much other stuff needed to be done, but I'll take pics when I get them in.
Here's what they look like by themselves:
Just a quick update... I managed to install two of them (rear outside markers) before the pilot bit in my hole saw bent. I'll pick up another bit tomorrow and install the rest but... These damn things are incredible!
They're only 3/4" across, with three diodes in each, and they easily outshine the incandescent markers. In fact, they're so small that if it weren't for the black rubber grommet they mount in, with their clear lenses you'd hardly notice them until they were turned on. I have a few more on order and I'm going to replace every marker on the truck with them.
I'll try to get some pictures a little later.
Pictures, as promised.
I didn't do the top markers yet (waiting for four more to be delivered) but I did do the rear side markers and the two markers on the bottom corners of the front of the box. (In the pictures of the rear lights the marker light to the right of the LED (with two bulbs in it) was on there to provide the side marker DOT requires, and was factory installed like that because it wouldn't fit on the side. It's going to be removed now and replaced with an amber LED class 1 strobe)
You can see in the pics just how tiny these things are, and how well they light up.
