Install vigor rear pillar lights

[schierholz]

I have a set of vigor rear pillar lights and saw a dyi before cb7 tuner shut down and I was wondering if anyone could direct me on how to to go about unfailing them

Thanks

here's a picture of how I aligned my vigor light on my rear C-Pillar (I have a coupe, i dont know if its different between coupes and sedans, but use this as reference)



Corners line up with the mounting tabs, and theres this faint green circle that I lined up the top part of the reading light with. the light is centered by the top and bottom mounting tabs.

the "shaded" portion is the area you keep, and the inner "clean" area is the area you cut and insert the vigor reading lights into. cut little by little until fitment is snug. Doing it this way allows you to retain the function of the factory mounting clips that hold the lights in place. I used a dremel

Lucifer1 has the DIY on how to wire up the lights

IIRC, the green/black wire is power, and the white/blue wire is ground, and the white/red one is the wire to use if you want it to light up with the domelight. Lucifer1's DIY explains how to utilize this wire. can't find it right now though :|

So i got them installed and i am using the clips so they stick out a bit, Do you guys think i should put them all the way in ( i still need to paint them so they look more oem than what there at do they look dorky or good let me know

Ooooh, I don't like them installed on the angle like that.

I'd have put them straight across.

I had some ones from a Buick that I test fitted.

Those buick ones look nice.

Yeah I dont like them mounted that way either. I would mount them straight across or flowing with the pillar.

OP's lights look like they were installed with the care I put a refrigerator magnet on my fridge.

The Buick ones are from a 90's Buick Regal Gran Sport coupe.

Personally,I didn't like it after I installed it, so I never used them.

Wow, that looks useful and stylish in the second picture. I only have the dome light in my 91 EX, which is pretty weak at that. The more light the merrier!

Haha, that's exactly what came to mind.
