    Is there any way to have the underside door lights be on a switch so I can use them as underglow while driving down the road? Just thinking how to wire them to a switch, instead of using a fuse and all with my dome lights.

    Well said! :thumbsup:

    Dane, sorry all the antidark fanboys are giving you crap about inproving on someone else's design. If people want to wait for who knows how long for an inferior hood light kit, then more power to them. You are offering far more than just hood lights and I think they might be jealous. You are a stand up guy and people will be glad to do business with you when you return. Thank you for your service as well as providing quality products for TW.

    Come to think of it, looks like my neighbor's new Kia ripped off AD as well. When you open the hood, it's exactly the same. I mean, there's a light, wires, a pressure switch, everything!!!!

    Dang Kia, how dare they put a LED light under a hood.

    For those disgruntled folks here...there's a place called the Middle-East where you can go and rant about being suppressed and held back in the world because darn it...it's just not fair! I suggest you call to arms with those losers and run about the desert causing hate and discontent based on what you think is right and everyone is wrong. Just wanted to let you know they're recruiting the oppressed and naysayers right now...

    Or you can continue your crusade through TW looking for every wrong you can find and causing hate and discontent...because why?

    Personally, I'm an off-roader and not a gangster looking to start trouble on someone's thread... Carry-on...

    Wow...there's some really insecure led guys out there huh...? They must not be too bright! (Pun intended btw) I wonder if the sticker guy are bickering about the same thing? Very petty if you ask me. There's more than enough business and love to go around for everyone.

    Im all for people coming up with new ideas and improving on existing products but to duplicate someone else product and sell it as your own.

    I'd say it was improved upon personally. And there's more options. I'm not knocking your work or product and I would never go or encourage others to post their grievances on your thread. I'm sure it's a good product. Good luck in your thread!:) Let's all just move on already... Case dismissed

    Similar businesses can co-exist without bickering. I've never heard of the anti dark seller. I've done business with both mattgecko and tacodane. Both are nice guys. I didn't have to ask mattgecko any questions, so I can't speak to his service, but tacodane was more than willing to help me with my stupid questions about wiring.

    So...let's just all get along and be cool. tacodane is willing to do the work to provide lights. mattgecko is also willing. Just choose. No biggie.
