IC2, I do not plan to buy their box. I just paid $6 each for four stainless steel brackets that fit the bumper bracket bolts between the upper and lower bar. I am hoping that I can just use the flasher unit from Speedway that clicks with less current just as I would have to use with the LEDs from Boxstr. I also purchased the four side marker LED which were about $8 each so I have about 4 x $14 = $56 in the parts so far without the special flasher; this includes rear as well as front turn signals. Considering that quite a few of the parts I have purchased turn out to be just the first try and then are replaced by something better, I am just trying to avoid continuing to buy two or three items until I get it (mostly) right. So far it has been a rather inefficient process. Originally I thought I would just carefully select the right parts but as progress went on I had to get second or even third parts as I learned things. I may yet try Boxtrs in-headlight LEDS but I already had the side marker lights so looking it over I will try to get them to work. I like the bright yellow lights in the bumper but I don't like the wires to show so if I am not satisfied with that I will get back to Boxstr.

As far as buying 2-3 different parts to achieve a purpose - what makes you any different then anyone else That's what swap meets are for - sell the extras - but, of course, at a loss.

One item you may need to add to the LED lights wiring assemblies is either a 'special electronic' $35 flasher or a $5 resistor in each circuit. The LEDs do not draw enough current to activate a standard flasher. Take a look here http://www.watsons-streetworks.com/h...aillights.html

For possibly using tubing as a conduit, McMaster Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com/) sells lengths of SS and have a fairly good selection of clamps. Type in SS TUBING on their search function in the LH column. I wouldn't spoil a good paint job if I could mechanically clamp an item by drilling and tapping a small hole.
