    Is that a Softopper brand, or somebody else? I didn't think the Softopper was available with side windows.

    Lights came in friday. went ahead and threw on an extra bead of sealant just in case, i thought a few spots looked a little iffy on the bead so why not go all around a second time. waited for them to dry and installed sunday. i was really due for some new lights. now just waiting for the new grill to come in and going to polish the fogs this week.

    And two steps can be accomplished concerning overspray: To prevent, just wipe the surrounding areas with something slick or a wipe with wax. If you do get a little overspray, use a little solvent on a rag and it wipes right off. The solvent (mineral spirits works great) will dissolve it. Do not try to sand it if you want to remove it; if it wont peel, hit it with the mineral spirits (will not harm paint).

    link has been taken down, they are your typical ebay lights hence why i threw on that extra bead of sealant. if you search headlights their are multiple ones just like them.

    No doubt, I was asking because I do have the Softopper brand and wouldn't mind side windows, but didn't think they made them.

    Volant CAI, TRD Exhaust, Throttle Body Expansion with vortex, too many others to mention.
    I installed the below switch for my bed lights. Red 2 goes to the dash circuit. Can I get some help on where to connect it?

    Exactly, it allows you to turn the fog lights on or off at anytime. But they still turn off when you shut the vehicle off because you are drawing hot from the AC relay.

    It should all fit, I actually have relays in those blank spots, from you picture. For my seat heaters. Maybe I used a smaller inline fuse.
    Either way, I wasn't trying to blow you smoke, just letting the other gentlemen know that it could be done with a fuse.

    A thing or two...
    Use an add-a-fuse to the tail fuse under the dash.

    Look for the green w/white coming off the back of any of your factory switches, that's the illumination circuit. You should be able to tap that for the red2 on your new switch.
