    No install video but his directions are really clear. I worked with him to make everything as clear cut as possible. @oostroma is also happy to answer any questions that may come up.

    For the DIY kit? About an hour or so. But that’s me just making sure to take my time and do it right. Drilling slowly, multiple figment tests, first time soldering, making sure all connections are secure, taking off dash trim, running wires, etc.

    This is really cool. One suggestion I would make is to include, in the first post, a picture of the complete kit so people can understand exactly what they are getting. Could help drive sales.

    Are you able to get a blue that matches the OE light blue inside the truck?

    The opaque blue pic on the 1st page is what I have in my Taco. I will see if I can get an ice blue and get back to you.

    Sounds good! I think the AIB ones are pretty close to matching, if you want a start. https://www.aironboard.com/online/products/switches/toyota-push-switches.html?color=390

    Also, here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2lo-plug-play-harness-discussion.592035/#post-19804423

    Also, is it possible to use with Mesos stealth pro knob with buttons?

    You da man! That would be nice for the second button on the knob. Thanks for the quick response!

    Hard to get a good pic. But here it is.

    Looks awesome! I've been slacking on doing mine, waiting on some other parts to knock out a few other things at the same time.

    Yep instructions were good. Except that I ran my wires through the main hole the first time, LOL. The same hole that the threaded part of the knob goes through. Then I realized that I needed another hole going up to the LED for the 2 wires. Had to start over, re solder the leads, re test.
    Took me about 2 hours start to finish--Midnight till 2 am.
