Burban Rewire Update

Got a lot of progress on the rewire, added LED 3rd Brake and Reverse Lights, added a Rear Cargo Light, and for the dash and floor lights in.

Re: Burban Rewire Update

The rear light looks good. For the size of these Suburbans the single light above the driver doesn’t do a whole lot. I added one between the second and third row and was thinking about one in the rear as well

Re: Burban Rewire Update

Here's a flip for a brother Burban owner.

Looks good! Can you post some photos of how you installed the lights on the hatch?

If you add a light to the rear you might consider putting a switch with it so you can operated the light on without opening a front door, or depending on the year, using the headlight switch to turn the lights on. First generation S10 Blazer rear dome lights have a switch built into them.

I was thinking about either one with a switch or possibly a plunger switch similar to the front doors. With rear air I would have to fine a place to mount it though and not interfere with anything.
