    If you wait until I get mine I will make a video of it... you can then decide whether or not you would do it yourself or pay someone to do so.
    I mean, they shouldn't charge you more than 20 bucks to run some cables... if they do, they better make it look like it came from factory LOL

    Yeah, it was $160 for installation plus an up charge on the actual products. When do you expect your truck to get in?

    Yep they are plug and play. I don't have fogs in my SR so i need the bezels and a wiring harness and switch!!! Just curious where is your stock switch in your 16? On the Stalk on the column? Any chance you could snap a pic of it?

    Installation is easy, you dont have to move anything if you dont want to. I moved my washer fluid reservoir so I could mount the ballast behind it for a cleaner install. The battery side the ballast is just mounted beside the battery on an existing bolt. Took about 20 minutes or so and another 10 for LED fogs. I didnt replace the housing on the fogs, just added 2800 lumen philips LED bulbs

    I had the same problem, i could get it to fire after i played around with the connections on that side. turned out one of the wires had backed out a bit, in one of the connectors, and the direction had changed on one of the female inputs. easy fix.

    I need to figure out a way to keep the license plate lighting out of the camera. I have directional bulbs which helped but it needs a little shroud that extends over the top of the cover to keep it from glaring upwards. Even the halogens have this issue and it's super annoying.

    Replaced the reverse lights with LED. Man they are insanely bright image.jpgimage.jpg

    Which bulbs did you go with and where did you get them? Eventually I'd like to replace all my lights with LED. Just got done doing the interior.

    I've tried to keep manufactures the same for certain things. My interior fronts are from VLEDS but their dome light is 360 degrees and there's no reflector in ours. In retrospect I should've bought the morimoto chip LEDs for the front so they would match the dome. Waiting for a morimoto XB led dome light, tag lights are the Philips 194 from Amazon. Not super bright which is good but still look nice. The reverse lights are from some company on Amazon. JDM A star I believe. Claim to be 800 lumens. But all I know is they are really bright. Front LED fogs are from VLEDS the vx3 ones. Headlights are morimoto XB HID

    I have the same problem with the plate lights, thinking about putting the OEM bulbs back. Please post your solution once you got it figured.

    Even my oem ones have that glare. I don't remember if it was an issue on my 2nd generation or not but there's gotta be a way to fix it

    What bulb size are the LED reverse lights? Is it this one?
