    Rock lights came finally..one month later..

    Lights look legit. Plus I order 10 of the 3 LED lights and got 12 and only 2 of the 2 led bars and got 5..

    So that's kinda cool.

    Still working away at wiring now that my dads truck is all back together.

    Relay and fuse box is done basically

    And here is what my dad came up with for the diodes for the master control switch for the 6 new switches.

    Will have to ad the other latter most likely just in a wire.

    But just got some pcb project board at radio shack then the screw terminals are off an old circuit board my dad designed for his job that doesn't work anymore. Turned out great and will keep stuff clean right behind the switches.

    IMO, you should've filled the whole thing with switches now, and just plug/connect them as you need them for other stuff. Less hassle down the road.

    Gonna label them?

    Well there is only 5 getting used. Ill use toggles from now on as the only thing I can thing off ill need a switch for is lockers haha that's gonna be while.

    Yes I have a good plan I think for the labels. :spy:

    Just gotta order them.

    But I'm also holding out as they will light up and right now the compartment is looking very cramped lol and I haven't run the master switch wire or power wire for the lights..

    So I'm holding off for that just for now..but I hope to label them and have them light up.

    That is all looking great. I wouldn't have thought to do it that way. Glad you are paving the path for people like me.

    Keep up the good work.

    Haha shouldn't be too much longer. I just need to finish up the switch and mounting my damn diodes. Then it's just running and tucking wires :D which won't take long.

    If I get some more days without stuff do do should be a week and it'll be done. Then I'm getting my buddy that's a pro photographer to snap some sweet shots :D


    But it'll be quite soon :D I'm getting excited
