    Would it be fine to re-install everything if I'm missing the A-Pillar Y Splitter? I didn't think to check to make sure I had all the parts before starting...

    Well, since there's no power until the A-piller "T" splitter is connected, I would just leave everything in the pillar alone for now until the harness comes in. You can still do the the rest of the installation.

    Yup, no problem. I emailed them and Stew answered back in maybe 5 min. He is sending out a replacment y cable that connects the light to the harness in the door. We will see if that fixes it. The drivers side work perfectly and everything fit well.

    Would it be possible to get another driver side trim piece?
    The inner center tab broke when it snapped into place.

    Install went easy. Very nice addition. The pickup tool from Amazon worked a treat for pulling through the boots. And the lights make the sides of a black truck look filthy!

    Man, unplugging that thing probably took 50% of the install time. Everything else was chill.

    Question, would I be able to tap directly to the bed light (3rd brake light switch) to utilize the factory switch, I dont want another dedicated switch also I'm out of room on the left hand console area, since I have a MT6. With the clutch cancel switch.

    There is also a small clip on the factory gray connector you can remove and put on @MESO connector to clip it to the A-pillar, it can be tricky to get the small clip off, but it comes off the factory connector. Then as MESO says, push the factory connector down into the dash.
