    If you look around under the hood you might find you have a factory wiring harness already there. My Pete came prewired for air cleaner lights and side clearance lights. They were labelled and tucked up tight to the firewall.

    So, breather lights.

    Do they help you to breath easier, or do they actually breath on their own?!

    Be cool if they actually breathed on their own.
    You might see vapor expelling from the lights in cold weather.:biggrin_255:

    I have a 99 pete 379 and wanted to replace the breather lights.. I ran into a problem where the bottom bolt on the passenger side just spins.. How do I get ahold if it from the inside..

    The truck should be wired for it already.. The 2007 W900L we have has one of the switches by the driver side door controls them.

    You might need another hand in the operation! If you can't reach around the hood to the bolt or it's behind the footwell paneling you'll need someone to help.

    Just depends whether the truck was speced with the optional harnesses for the breathers. If not and it was me i would not tie them into the other lights. There are plenty of hot and cold leads under the dash,just add another switch if there are no spares. As far as the mirror turn signals some where in that dash are the leads for left and right. They should be labeled,so should there be leads for the breathers. May be marked as optional. Go to the KW forum there is a parts guys who can look up your VIN and tell what you have and don't have. Sorry did not notice how old this was.
