    my 1st question
    1......am i ok running 1 wire 14 gauge from an open acc. slot on factory fuse "under dash" add a circuit type of thing.....and splicing it to all 3 swtiches " for the switch led light"

    2......doing the same for ground solder them all togther.....

    3......and i want to run 1 (14 gauge wire for power to all 3 switches).....
    note there will be only powering relays.......this will be to send power to the relays from the switches...

    4.....where is the best place to penetrate firewall.......or should i drill new hole and use a rubber gromet.......

    and has anyone cut out the area behind the sunglass holder " if so any tips?, did you remover the overhead thing or just cut it out in place....

    1st gens have a gromet thru the firewall already--I used it--Cable run-there was plent of room.
    One wire for three switces--For relays--is OK.
    Same ground--is good.
