    @MESO I’m confused on how to plug the end of this switch into the existing harness? Am I just abandoning the existing 2 wires that are coming up into the A pillar and plugging in the switch instead? See photo...3BE6110A-496B-4DDB-AA2F-5AE34B2F2A39.jpg

    So, behind the left piece of trim on the QI charger area, there's a bolt there that goes to a piece of metal, through a plastic bit. The bolt is just a TEENY bit too big, bit can be threaded on. If you need me to take a picture of the location I can.

    Thanks @MESO i went back and saw @Tacospike post and got it all wrapped up. Thanks for the advice on modding the ground loop by cutting it. Was scratching my head looking for a spot. Grounded to the radio bracket, has to fish the ground wire up next to AC tube.

    Shout out to @MESO for such an amazing product. Finally mounted his custom panel and the puddle light switch.

    I love how flush the Switch-Pro sits now.

    Thanks again Stew for answering all the questions I had. You are the man !! :bowdown:

    Thanks @MESO, for the fast shipping and taking care of me on the triton adapter. I have been driving around with one upgrade stage 2 tail and one stock. Almost dont want to use my right turn signal on most days.
