    Last night I just installed a MBRP exhaust system on my 2015 with 54K miles and the gasket was fine.

    Painted the tow hook red, so it's safe to say it's getting pretty serious.

    I like this a lot. Care to take some pics of the wiring on this or explain to my dumb ass? I’d like for mine to come on when hood is lifted and by interior cab switch if possible @Sasquatchtaco

    I talked our Maintenance manager out of a 3rd gen a few weeks ago. He bought a 2014 base model with a 3" spacer lift. Debadged, sport hood, grey method wheels and blacked out expect the rear bumper. I've been meaning to post a picture of it since he go it.

    Why would you want a switch inside the cab if the lights will automatically be switched on as the hood pops open? Seems like a waste to me.

    In case you are going to be working under the hood for a long time in daylight it would allow you to make sure there was not a slow drain on the battery.

    I mean, in that instance, you could just tape the button down or something along those lines. I totally get the reasoning behind it but Personally, I just feel like it’s a lot of extra work especially if you will be putting your switch for these lights in the center under the radio.

    If it’s a lot of extra work then I can do without cab switch. I want semi simple as possible. Probably put the switch on left hand side of steering wheel though. Still if it makes for slot more work I’d be good just having push button switch. I’d still like some tips on the wiring though just to reassure myself of what to do
