Thanks Evan and Don. I got tired of working on the lights 3 yrs. ago and got some LEDs. I rewired at the time with a reg trailer harness and it has been fine, but I want to protect it. Liquid tape and ty wraps sound good, but I like the 16/3 Idea. How do you tie into the markers without splicing? I ignored the markers when I did mine because it seemed like I would be working on the lights every other weekend as before. I know I`m not 100% legal, but I haven`t worked on my lights in 3 yrs. either.

Evan I`ll post pics of the console insert this week.

Well, I`m off to the Hub and the Expediter for more pieces/parts. Hi Ho Hi Ho.

Thx,
GFS

what i would do with the clearance lights is just take a length of your old trailer harness and use that only for the clearance lights. make the connection up at the tongue where the 16/3 starts. for that i would use a yellow heat shrink connector because you can put 2 16 awg wires in one side (for clearance lights and running lights on the trailer side) and on the tongue side where your using the old harness just strip back twice as much as u normally would and fold it over and then crimp it down. i hope i explained it so its understandable. i can get some pics if you need them. let me know.
