Lighting Stage 23
As I was attaching the Front Cab Doors in Stage 23, I installed the front two Emergency Lights in the same way as the rear doors (from Lighting 21) to work around, and allow for, the door screws:
On both sides, I routed the front cab side LED wiring up between the door hinge and the Main Cab Body, as shown:
When I made it to the point in this stage where I installed the Center Console into the Main Cab Body, I made sure the new LED wiring was routed alongside the stock cables:
Wiring
The local connections for these LEDs are as follows:
If we consider my full plan diagram, we can test the lighting after this stage by connect everything like this:

Hi,
I will need some information about your micro-led connection. I did your modifications and I was trying to connect all the micro-leds together but I need some instructions.
Kind Regards,
JG
Sure thing, what are you looking for?
Hi MarvelPhx,
I have done the Lighting Stage 16 , Stage 21, Stage 23, the Roof Lightbars and the Lighting Stage 25. I have tested all the micro-leds (one by one without the LMB). ( I don’t have the remote control yet)
I didn’t try to turn the PCB on yet and I didn’t modified the ‘inner’ Headlights yet.
How did you connect the micro-leds using the expansion board (4-port), the expansion board (6-port) and the multi-effects board ?
Kind Regards,
JG
I have been thinking I need to explain how the lights, boards, etc. all connect to each other. I created this graphic method to try out, so let me know what you think. Would graphics like this for all of the connections be helpful?
Yes, perfect,
I will do some test and I will let you know !
Thanks,
JG
Excellent, I will work on creating more of these types of wiring diagrams for all the steps.
I have updated all of the Custom Lighting pages with wiring diagrams for each stage of the mod. Let me know!
Wow, it’s exactly what I was looking for ! The instructions are perfect !
Awesome!
