    Ya I know but I'm only first year. Just barely got in like 7 months ago so I'm still learning. And I figured it was around that area just wanted to make sure before I do this. Didn't wanna mess anything up

    You will be fine it's pretty easy also do the anytime 400w mod why you have the console apart. That is a little more work but it's easy as well. There is a link in this post its a good write up as well. By the end of your apprenticeship this will be child's play.

    This is already super easy for me to do. Just wanted to make sure I use the right wire. I could've looked it up in the cued book but didn't have it with me. I'm gonna do both mods like you said. Are you an IBEW member?

    Pretty much like mine except I have a single one. Just make sure you have the right cutting tools and you'll be fine. Also, buy nuts for the screws.

    I think you're too hung up on how it looks. Once installed you can't even really see it.

    It's really easy. I doubt you'll mess up. Especially on the wiring and the mod. I feel I took from good pics for anyone to understand.
