For the longest time the wires coming out of my <a href=\"https:\/\/projectkeira.com\/home\/?p=321\">PIAA 520 ATP&#8217;s<\/a>\u00a0bugged me. Normally I use split loom for everything, but I didn\u2019t want to use it on the outside of the vehicle (where it\u2019s visible) so I just left the lamp wires as is. Then the other day at Fry\u2019s Electronics, I was randomly browsing when I came across a roll of Techflex braided sleeve and it hit me &#8211; I\u2019m going to use this for those wires! I bought a 25-foot roll (the smallest size available) and went home to do the job.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_714\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-714\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-714\" src=\"https:\/\/projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_piaawrap1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_piaawrap1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_piaawrap1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_piaawrap1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-714\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Super long 25-foot roll of the stuff, and I only needed like 20-inches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To do the job properly I had to unsolder the wires from inside the PIAA driving lamps first. Next the sleeve went over the wires, and I locked the sleeve in place at both ends with a small piece of heat shrink tubing. Finally, I soldered the wires back to the lamps, reassembled everything, and I was done. I know it may seem like a small, trivial mod, but I guess as they say &#8211; it\u2019s all in the details.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_715\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-715\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-715\" src=\"https:\/\/projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_piaawrap2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_piaawrap2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_piaawrap2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/raine_ft_piaawrap2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-715\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mod finished, where you can\u2019t even see it unless you look.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes DIY projects go backwards, where you see the solution and then you think of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":715,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,14],"tags":[202,63,201,345,344],"class_list":["post-713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exterior-parts-and-mods","category-lighting-mods-and-upgrades","tag-520-atp","tag-custom-mod","tag-piaa","tag-sleeve","tag-wires"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1493,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713\/revisions\/1493"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projectkeira.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
