    Guys getting their kits,
    Just another tip: plug everything in on the ground and get familiar with how it all goes together(and make sure it’s all there)
    Then, I suggest leaving it all plugged in, and just connecting it all to the main harness in the A-pillar and checking functions.

    If all looks good, proceed with the tedious(not hard, just Time consuming) install;)

    Enjoy the new feature and added brightness!!

    Laid everything out to making sure all parts were there. That is my plan to plug it in to make sure it works before install

    And it also rules out any install errors or questioning if you pulled/cut/pinched/not fully connected anything during the installation

    Sorry noob here. Received mine last week and trying to read up on everything before the install. I havent exposed the A-pillar before. Should i disconnect battery before opening this up? Or just wait to disconnect after i have tested the lights? I know the airbag is in there but cant imaging its that sensitive. Thanks

    Disconnect before exposing A pillar.
    I didn’t have to reset any radio settings.

    Totally agreed with @TimC , disconnect the battery (negative side). In fact, disconnect the battery anytime you’re chasing sparks in any car.

    I don’t lose radio stations, but my A & B Trip odometers do reset to 0.
