    [QUOTE="OldManTan";6004065]Put yellow Nokya bulbs in fogs today. Took a pic but they don't look yellow.[/QUOTE]

    I don't know if it was just my set of bulbs or not but keep an eye on your foglight assembly for moisture in the lens. Mine did not have a good seal. I put my stock bulbs back in. :(

    Holy chit, I've done a lot already!!
    Thanks, we'll do. I hope I don't have that issue cause I love them. They were really hard to install due to the o-ring.

    You should be able to remedy that by using the Oem seals on the nokya bulbs.

    A buddy at work is selling his ORDC so I bought his bed extender and tonneau cover. I put them on in the dark after work a few days ago and just got around to taking pics today.

    I ran the cabling last weekend, this weekend I wired up the relay, fuse box and gauges. Turned out pretty nice I think.

    Wiring coming in through firewall, wrapped in corrugated tubing

    20121118115342449_6544aa2f0488f2374c380d012533b34124ea3d9a.jpg

    Fuse box mount location, drilled four holes into the metal structure and zip-tied it up. Red fuses are visible in the fuse box. This location was perfect, now I just have to remove my change tray to check fuses. Looks almost stock.

    20121118115401366_dc3d0e7db5b675bb57ab32653f81be404f0a49b3.jpg

    Gauge wiring and ground points for gauges and radar detector (still deciding on whether or not to cut excess wiring and splice to clean it up)

    20121118115430922_6c5a8f6825729806fd6746cee960d5e32d171018.jpg

    Wiring going into cab from engine bay

    Wiring going out to sensors and battery
