ARB bumper question. Light wiring

[budlightpup]

New to the 100 series, and a dumbass when it comes to electrical. I recently bought a 100 series with a beautiful ARB bumper. The lights have never been integrated and I need all lights to work to pass inspection. How many bananas? Is this a simple thing or should I just Take it to real Mechanic?

sorry, the fog lights work like a champ, Just the turn signals or driving lights and what nots.

I's fairly simple. I cut my turn signals as close to the light as possible, so now I have a looped mess. It comes with scotch locks, which most people would probably consider sub-optimal; I was operating on a timetable and used the scotch locks anyway and slathered EVERYTHING with dielectric grease.

If you've ever crimped a wire, it's one banana.

Dont use the scotch locks they provide. I use a Posi-Tap in stead that wont come loose and hack the wiring like a scoth lock will. You can find them for under a $1 each which is money well spent in my opinion for not having wiring problems down the road. I get them on amazon and ebay from resellers who buy them in bulk.

Posi-Tap- No Crimp Tap

This is where I bought some recently for this same purpose.

Just run the ARB wire up to the factory turn signal wire and tap there. You can easily reverse it later if need be.

Or if you really can't do the electrical, just take some plastic-dip spray and black them out. Like they were never there.

if you need it to pass asap, those light inserts are held in by 4 small screws. you can pull them in 2 minutes. then pop them back in after you pass.

I'm in California and we have the most strict smog laws here...but I always feel lucky that we don't have to go through physical inspections like this.
