Custom Interior Dome Lights, Flush Mount and Super Bright

smast · Mar 6, 2023

Ordered IAG dome light kit for my 4-door hardtop Bronco, but really didn't like the way they stick out with the brackets. Looked far from stock. But their install video gave some clear instructions for running the wires, so decided to do a custom solution with flush mount LEDs. Picked the ones linked below because they have a low profile on the back side, mount flush, and are aluminum vs. plastic. Ran wires along the roll bar, then down the A-pillar similar to the IAG process. Trim pieces are easy to remove and pop back in, and these mount behind the airbags so no possible interference there. Tied into the door opening wire via vampire clip, and also ran a wire to one of the upfitter switches. Both work now. You do need to use a diode inline from the door open wire to where it connects to the upfitter switch so that the upfitter doesn't send current back through the dome light circuit. Overall, really happy with how bright it lights up the interior, how it automatically comes on with the door opening, and how it blends in when not in use. On/Off compare pics attached.
