    From the outside never seeing it before, it looks like they bought a cheap Chinese version and just made a speaker grille mold?

    Agreed. And I’m really eyeing the bowl lights and the hud. Ugh. :anonymous::spending:

    It’s a light that is in a bowl that basically snaps behind the interior door handles. It wires into the wiring inside the door. I am tempted regularly by them but I have refrained so far.

    I genuinely like mine. I find no legitimate flaw with them really. It's not even terribly overpriced. That and the 400w "anytime" have been good for me. Grab handle and HUD, well, I stayed far away. And now kmorgan3 has the 400w harnesses, but I don't think anyone else has done bowl lights. Of course you could drill and do your own T taps but man, installing the kit is fast and easy and relatively painless. Extra bonus that I get to foil my kids from punking me with the window switch by de-pinning the one jumper.

    I'm not trying to sing praises here or anything, trust me.

    Well....as it's said...'even a blind squirrel finds an occasional nut.' So it sounds as though the bowl light is the :puke:KTJO 4X4 nut.

    LOL! I actually have one of those. Blue light and all. It even has a fart fan on it that goes on when you sit down on the heated seat! Sprays water up to 102*, too! It makes for some seriously blissful shitting on a cold winter's day. :headbang:

    I concur with @daveeasa. The bowl lights are prob one of her easier items to do. I like the concept of the HUD, but reinstalling the grab handle after removing it ain't worth it in my book. The damned handle gave me almost 2 days worth of fits (and several "sentence enhancers" to boot).

    Having said that, I like the concept of the grab handle and use it daily to get in and out the truck. But that's about as far it goes. Can't really recommend it. :notsure:
