    Gents, I assume once someone installs the DIR harness and is running the HIR reverse light mod from @crashnburn80 thread it will probably make this even more of a great setup. Anyone here have that setup or planning to do so? Thoughts?

    My kit arrived a little bit ago. Looks to be super high quality and well made

    I’ll get it installed at some point this weekend

    Lots-o-stuff
    Install was a piece of cake, but I really need to stop buying stuff now. Between the rear diff breather relocation, Meso's upgraded taillights, and now
    this DIR kit, I'm damn near out of room behind the driver's side brake light. :eek::D

    Luckily, that’s connected behind the passenger side tail light.

    uhhhh....dog fur?
    Oh man this was so easy to install that I did it twice!

    Granted that's cuz I am an idiot and installed on passenger side, which did fit, but then was not smart enough to figure out where the smaller plugs joined in and so reread the instructions and shifted the whole thing to the driver and figured out where the smaller plugs go inline (the back of the reverse light, duh... So do not feed that through the low hole).

    Tested it out, I got it wired right, and will try to get some video one of these nights.

    Love this, thanks guys!!

    Just finishing up install of mine. I recommend not having a 4 year old truck covered in dirt

    I also discovered one of my license plate bulbs is actually dead lol guess I should pay more attention but not surprised considering I’m at 115k miles and 4 years.

    I have the same mods in the same damn location. A little wire management and I was able to stuff all the wiring and connectors in the empty space on the right side of the drivers taillight. Installation was a piece of cake, didn't even need to read the instructions. You have try really hard to screw up the install. I'll get some comparison photos when it gets dark.

    The included nut is 10mm so all you need is a 10mm socket for the nut and tail light bolts and some snips for the zip ties.

    That's exactly what mine looks like too just one year older, and 1/4 of the miles

    For those of you who got one from me rather than puppypunter, any comments on the length of the harness from relay to license plate intercept would be most appreciated. Or the other segment if you have thoughts there.

    The harness length is perfect for both segments.
