    Not super clean but it's a start. All wires ran to the switch panel. Will leave fuses out until I get all the lights installed.

    Finishing up rock light wiring tomorrow... I hope.

    Great looking build, I especially like the custom front bumper.

    Dark garage, no flash on pic. Only three of the 6 lights installed for this side... So far.

    Typical install... I purchased the lock washers separate at Lowe's.

    These little frigging wires are tedious to work with... shown with a 14AWG for size comparison.

    Nice, your wasting no time. The switches are expensive but so clean! Im curious to see how those rock lights put out and handle weather compared to the "break the bank" rigid rock lights.

    I'll be the guinea pig for cheap parts... I'm cheap!
    $17 for 12 of those lights... I can replaced them a bunch of times for the price of others.

    For those interested: found them on Amazon, 12 lights, 9W each only $17 with free shipping!

    Edit: Test them before install, I have one with a loose internal connection... but for another $17 dollars its cheap to replace and have 11 more spares.
    And... I added those internal toothed lock washers for extra vibration security. Got them at Lowes.
