    I used the S2's to an additional switch. I didnt want them to come on all the time, just when needed. I run a Raxiom controller, so actually can control from remote, or even from my phone. Wanted to have some extra light back there for trailering and camping.

    Ordered a plug and play pop/lock tailgate harness from Accessorides last week, came in the mail this weekend. Grabbed the pop/lock from Amazon, decided to install today on my Presidents Day off from the office. Ordered some LED headlights and weathertech mats too for the heck of it ;)

    I don't know if anyone addressed this, but someone who also had the meso customs coin holder lined the front of each coin slot with felt, and it fixed the issue.

    I did not wire to reverse lights, thought about it, but really only want these to come on when need them. I have a Raxiom controller under hood, wired directly to it. That way I can turn on all lights when I need from a remote or even my phone.

    I love the BD lights, and so far have installed them all around. But also saw a great flush light from Caliraised, that would have been my second choice.

    Below is how I cut, not to scientific, but actually found a nice void where I cut, so it was perfect. You can see the template in the picture sitting on the bumper. I used the rear sensor for reference, and the top of the bumper. Only issue I found with this so far is mounting hardware. I couldn't use the allen wrench head bolts that were supplied to mount. There is a bumper filler behind the cover which does not allow for placing the nuts. so I used a beveled screw for now, just screwed into the plastic. I tried to align my mounts to the black part of the bumper, rather then level with ground, and I think they came out well. I cut small with a grinder, and trimmed wider as needed to get the hole pretty tight.

    Keep those stickers on. They add 2 mpg per tire.
