    yeah, im thinking of either mounting it right to the left of the steering wheel, or on the plate where the cigarette lighter is.

    I'll find pics of my two toggles tomorrow morning. They are mounted between the factory light and the steering column. Glad AK took 2nd shift for me haha. Oh yes pics or gtfo!

    Ill definitely get tons of pics this weekend when i get it all finished up! The only part that worries me about mounting the switch by the steering wheel is drilling a big ass hole in my dash lol

    That's why you drill it in the cluster Bezel. Those are replaceable from Ebay cheap if you ever resale. That's how mine is mounted and 1 of AK's is there of I saw right.

    Haha No problem. and Yeah, that whole piece around the steering wheel comes off. I have 2 more switches next to that orange one now. 1 for each pair of lights and the orange one is for my A-pillar gauges. The chrome toggle on the left is for my heated mirrors

    I kinda skimmed through this. I would use 12g or 14g wiring for lighting.

    I think they got you all setup otherwise. I would place a 20A fused from the battery to the relay
