    Thank you everyone for the positive feedback, I really do enjoy reading it. And of course if anyone has suggestions for improvement I'm happy to hear that as well.

    I honestly decided to build these primarily as a means to contribute something of value back to the community. The labor is also one way for me to self soothe after the stresses of the day from work and parenting and get myself in the right frame of mind for peaceful slumber.

    Now that the wait list is gone, anyone who wants one may order, as outlined in the 2nd post in this thread.

    I'm about 40% complete with batch 5 which will add 25 to the current inventory of 3. At that point in time I plan to pause on building these until inventory drops below 10 and focus on one or more of the following:
    1. Tundra DIR
    2. Halogen to LED headlight conversion with grille light DRL tap
    3. H11 to H9 halogen headlight adapters
    If you or anyone you know has interest in or desire for small-batch custom plug-and-play harnesses and can't find them on the open market, one good spot for that is Puppypunter's idea hole. The general plan is that Johnny is the creative genius and frontman, singing to his adoring fans and gyrating on stage. Meanwhile, I'm the drummer in the back corner of the stage who keeps the rhythm and executes on some of these ideas to reach a wider audience. Or maybe I'm the soundboard guy. Something like that.

    Mine came yesterday while I was at work. I didn’t make it to the bottom of my “honey do” list today so hopefully I’ll get a chance to install it tomorrow. Very impressed with the build quality though. Looks very professional.

    I see two entries for you, is it safe to assume you only want one of these?
    Also, AG Pro is pretty awesome.

    Last, I received the relays yesterday, paving the way to finish batch 5.

    Installed today. Amazing difference! This is an absolute necessity if you have LED license plate lights. Thanks for making them available.

    Installed yesterday with the help of my 5 year old (moral support). Took maybe 10-minutes. Super easy to install, top quality product. Thanks for the great idea and mod.

    None, brand new. Looking for ideas
    C3C36613-72D1-4364-A977-CE7FB7F33417.jpg 8159D875-45B0-462D-B507-02BE80CC55E9.jpg I paid Friday and received my harness yesterday. Great quality, I’m impressed. Installed it this morning. Took less then 10 minutes to install and works flawlessly. Going on a night run tonight at Jumbo Grade in Carson City, Nevada. It’ll be nice to not have that license plate light glare whenever I need to reverse.

    Thank you for making such a great product. I definitely recommend anyone who’s thinking about it to pull the trigger and grab one. You’ll have zero buyers remorse.

    Just finished up install on the DIR harness. Easy to do! Love the simplicity. Really just removing and replacing some connectors, nothing more. No holes to drill, no measurements to make.

    The quality is better than Toyotas OEM wiring harnesses IMO.

    If you are unsure about buying this, have no worries.

    thanks again!

    Finally had a chance to install mine today. Quick and works like a champ. I just need to adjust the settings after it gets dark tonight.

    Thank you for spreading the word, very happy you found the install easy. That is something I like about this harness as well, it's just enough work to justify a celebratory beer and not so much as to risk spousal disapproval.

    Yours will ship tomorrow morning.

    Also, I'm trying really hard to not look at either of your AG trucks b/c at least for right now it is my favorite color.
