I just bought short stock lights and a fender removal kit for my '05 636 and have a general question about the wiring to the new lights. I made a mount for them on the same mount as the license plate but now the wires will be right against the side of the exhaust pipe when they go to the lights. I want to have the lights for two reasons. One, a little safety and two, I paid for the lights I want them to light up. The question is: will the wire wrap melt against the pipe or should I buy some thermal tape wrap for the wires? Or if anyone has a better way to run the wires I'm all ears. Thanks.

 

if its directly on the pipe it will prolly melt the wires when it gets hot then cause a short..find some thermal tape or wiring loom

 

thanks, that's what I was thinking

 

Or you could get a carbon fibre pipe :p

 

It would have been cheaper to just have gotten bertha's race style fender eliminator for 40 shipped and clear alternatives tail light with integrated turn signals for 70, then you wouldn't have to worry about wires melting.

 

Why does it have to be on the pipe? Unless it's an undertail. but I'd try and reqire it around the pipe if it's possible

 

The pipe is an undertail and the specific fender eliminator he's speaking of has the turn signals mounted on the side of the exhaust, if you're using aftermarket "universal" signals the back them will touch the exhaust, that's why I went with a race style fender eliminator.
