    I made my own raptor lights mod for $15! They are wired to the side marker lights. I made my own harness and it’s all nicely covered with a woven wire cover. $12 for lights. A few dollars for heat shrink, zip ties, and I used left over connectors and wire from rewiring my other car.

    Alright doll-face, c'mon and bore me!

    I'm sorry to say this, but that is one horrible, un-serviceable electrical mess and I really hope that no one tries to emulate this.

    Looks pretty good to me. It’s a lot of wires, but it is routed cleanly and the connections look fine. That’s the nature of a dual battery setup. I doubt anybody but him will be servicing it anyway.

    Just in case anyone wants them, here are the CAD and 3D printer files for a version of the shaped spacers with a larger 16mm hole. This allows you to shift them around to align with the trim piece before you torque the bolts.

    Remember to print these with 100% infill. You want them solid.

    It’s wired up as designed! Have you ever seen a golf cart? Multiple batteries have lots of wires.

    Bwhahaha... Lots of wires! So you're experience with automotive electrical wiring extends as far as golf carts?

    Multiple batteries... must take a lot of wires.... don't know what those wires do, though...

    Please... If you don't know what you're doing, find someone that does.

    Lots of people here of done an exceptional job of making their wiring look professional and serviceable (and reliable) with no prior experience.
