    Mine went back on very easily, too, after I got the A pillar set in place. Much easier than the initial install.

    So, the fronts are very straightforward, but there's some decisions to be made with the back. I think I found a good spot that I'm happy with.

    Under the rear seat on the double cab, the bottom is metal and has a small gap between the metal lip and the hinge. Just big enough for these, and you can hide your wires easily. I ran mine under the lip of the storage cubby, and all that is visible is a single wire on the passenger side seat riser. Maybe I'll get ambitious and fish it under the carpet, but I'm not sure how much play there is there. Light output is very good, looks like it was always there. When my rear aquas come in, I'll see if I can't get it to seat even better, and get enough slack on the first light to tuck the connectors securely behind the hinge (there is a gap to the riser when in seating mode).

    Very happy with this, and I was doubting my decision to go with red overhead and aqua below, but I'm so pleased. It's like two different zones, and works together very well. Now I just need @MESO or VLEDS to give me matching key courtesy and charging cubby lights.

    I have wife fear. FOW in other words. She already laughs at my dumb toy truck. It could get worse.

    If we send a matching color rose for your wife with your order would that ease the tension? :wink: Haha

    I really want these but I guess I'm asking too much to have it turn on and off with the over-head light switch

    @memario1214 If I ordered aqua and later decided I wanted red or 5500k white, do you sell the other colors individually outside of the kit?

    I had a thought about using a second rear set as behind seat lighting, but I haven't seen any mounting points I'm happy with and not having to drill holes in the rear bulkhead liner.

    If the lights were slightly narrower, it would be a good fit in the little hollows where the LATCH anchors are.

    Yeah, but you'll have to shoot me a PM for a custom quote as we'll likely have to drop them from VLEDS directly to ya. At this moment we don't have any plans to carry them here in the ol' 406. :D
