    Washed it for the first time in a few months, got 17.4 mpg on my last tank(!) and primed and painted some of the spots where the paint came off 2 weeks ago. Got a few others to hit, but should be a quick, easy job. Getting the window replaced sometime this week!

    I prefer to buy switches locally, cheap switches can burn out literally even melt. quantity usually means less quality

    I used these for my LED lights: http://www.colehersee.com/home/item/cat/17/58328-100BP/

    Spendy, but rated at 25 amps. Not really a need for a relay when using LED lights with those switches. They're also bigger than those circle switches though. I just used the factory switch blanks and they fit perfect.

    This is the only spot where I can fit switches (see pic). I originally wanted the OTRATTW switches but not enough space without it getting too crammed. It would probably also be easier to drill a hole rather than cut out a rectangle spot. Idk though. I don't even know how to do any electrical wiring so I'm hoping I can find someone nearby to help out.

    How many are you going to run? Do you have a switch for the passenger side airbag?

    Darn. I was gonna say you could put them there lol. You are right on the circle switches being easier to install due to just drilling a hole. A toggle switch would be just as easy and you may be able to stack them closer than those circle ones. But if you're just doing two of them it should be fine.

    And as far as the electrical work goes, it is not that hard at all. Once you do it once you'll think its cake. Just get someone familiar with it to help you out and you'll be set. :thumbsup:

    Put 2 coats of primer on the Hidden Hitch after grinding a few rusty spots out. I'll have to wait until the weekend and better weather to put the gloss black on.
