    Honestly, I haven't looked into it too much but when it comes down to it that might be how I do it. Disconnect factory wiring and wire a switch directly.

    Bushing failed on the hood support, so figured I would toss in some struts. Works better than I thought for just eye balln' it.

    I wasnt happy with how my hard lines worked out from my ABS delete so I went and picked up some bulk line and bent new lines tonight. I am really quite happy with the results! Kinda proud of it. Ran out of light so I'll take some photos soon.

    I don't have that light either, I tried to fill the reservoir and the fluid just leaked out so when I was doing the valve covers I just ripped it all out and will wait until I decide to buy one and relocate it.

    LOL... I feel that I dumped so much money just by changing tranportation, if we all started with a Taco 1st gen then probably our wallets wont be empty now.
