GMC 5500 - 2005

Post by KuhnElectronics »

I have a guy who is interested in buying 2 new amber LED's for the front grill of his 2005 GMC 5500. I havent seen this vehicle, and have no idea about where or how to mount the lights. He is really interested in the new Nova SLWIC3's, but I dont know the best way to do it. Any ideas?

Heres what they look like:

Take steel strapping. Bend it in a "L" shape to the desired length and angle as needed.
