I was wondering if any of you have ever installed them? I want to add some to my car, but have never installed them. I have been told to use masking tape to drill the hole but was looking for some other advice or know how on how to do it. Thanx in advance.

thanx for the info, but it didn't really help me, I know how I want to wire it, I'm going to tap into the turn signals for the wiring, but I'm just looking for an idea on how to install them into the car. Thanx for the info again, anybody else???

Tape the body with masking tape to prevent damage to the paint. Mark your mountings however you want them oriented and just drill the holes. Try to install some type of grommet where the wiring goes through the body and split loom the wires to prevent damage.
Also best to use stainless screws and coat the tip with a little silicone sealant before final installation to seal any bare metal edges and keep them from rust-streaking the sides of your ride.
Hope this helps!
