Looks like a simple install but it would’ve been nice if you had some close up shots when it came to installing the connectors on both the reflectors and side markers.
Just a note, you may have to purchase a box of black bumper clips as some Challengers have permanent clips. Thus, you will need to cut them off and replace them with new ones.
Cool upgraded rear marker lights! Using the recommended wiring connections should last about one winter or 12 months of being exposed to the harsh elements under the vehicle. These connections really need to be soldered and finished with marine heat shrink tubing.
It would be nice if these were reflective like the stock units. Are they? I replaced my side marker lights with Axial units. They are much brighter than stock but not reflective which was disappointing.
To be nitnoid, the stock rear reflectors aren’t completely “non-functional;” they allow for DOT compliance which requires rear reflectors providing reflectivity at a specified distance from the rear. Just like the side markers. I’m still doing them both though!
Shop these Rear Bumper Reflector Lamps! : muscle.am/3zrjlku

Yeah they goofed that part up..
I like the rear reflector lights but I do not want them smoked or clear. I’m interested in a red OEM look that lights up!
I like the look! But won't attempt the install. Every time I remove plastic push pins or tabs. They break or get damaged.
Time to get one of those box of 100 from Amazon. 😅 -Zach
@@AmericanMuscleDodge Good idea.
Yeah. The video doesn’t show that they are actually plastic ‘pop rivets’ and have to be basically cut off from the backside.
In my opinion, this mod is probably the most coolest. Turning the normal rear defectors into cool LED lights. Awesome 👍
Thanks for watching! -Zach

Can you make a plug and play version? I do not want to cut wiring and exposing the bare wires to the elements! This will cause corrosion overtime.
Wish there were some up close shots, great info though thanks

Is there any way we can find out a part number or something on those red wire connectors he used to tap into the side markers? 👍🏾
Is there a way to make it water proof? I’d assume you’d want it to be element proof and not have exposed metal
What type of connector did he say we would need?

What about the wide body challenger?
What’s kind of scotchlock connectors and how’s gauge need ?
