Then all you have to do is screw the brackets back into place after you choose your wiring. I had to do some very creative wiring to get all floor lights onto one circuit, and all the cupholders onto another. Those of you with a Saltare will understand. I basically ran a wire from one seat light in the back to another, and then tapped into the light going to the observers seat on the starboard side.

I then isolated the cupholders onto the cupholder switch (it has it's own dash switch). I ran my red lights onto the acc switch just pass the two interior switches. These lights barely draw any power so there isn't any concern of overloading the switches. Put in a fuse if you think it warrants it, but those switches are designed to pop if they get overloaded.

Once you have it all bolted back together you will have very bright LED's in all the factory locations. Nothing will look out of place, not even the new LED's since you won't be able to see them. The beauty of the stock light pockets is they have half-shaded. So they keep the light focused downward to stay out of the driver's vision if he looks back.

The end result, as many have already seen is: The settings on the camera were not enhance to give you a real effect. As you can barely see the Yellow Malibu right next to me on the other side of the dock. This is to give you as close to real world example as possible. They are that bright.








SOME TIPS:

-Bright blue lights like these will attract bugs. At the wake event in the above pictures, while my boat was a hot topic that night, it was also a bug magnet. I had to clean off hundreds of bugs before anyone could sit down. I will be replacing my LEDs in winter with red, with blue accents to help with that. And since it's so easy, it should take me about an hour.

-Patience is key, it's an easy task to do on a rainy afternoon. Turn up the music, sit down somewhere comfortable and get it down. But take your time.

-When wiring up the cupholder brackets, it's much easier to remove the speaker, and then the whole housing by removing the two 1/2 bolts on the back side. This will allow you to feed the wiring through much easier. Plus it allows you to clean up the gunk that builds up at the edges.
