    There is something wrong with my eyes and or probably my head. When I look at the small picture of the Husky Liners at the bottom of the page I see butt cheeks in a string bikini. Ya I'm nuts. Am I the only one that sees butt cheeks where ever they look ?

    So soldering will be required for install? Or is there a method without soldering?

    Awesome :D, I was able to use my wife's macbook with firefox to complete the order. No need to invoice me now. Now I just need to wait until it's ready. Thank again.

    The more of the invoice guys that can get the link to work the better, because that automatically does my shipping for me. And you will get your item allot quicker. What i am doing right now is building all the Stock Red ones first, and will ship them all at once, hopefully late next week. I have 33 built right now and that is about half of the stock colors. I ran out of leds so have to order more. So worst case i will ship 33 next week, and the rest the following week, followed by all the custom colors which is not that many only 19 people ordered custom. So i will be pre-building about 20 extra stock reds and they will ship when they are ordered. How nice!!

    I'm pretty sure it's any solid green and green with white stripe. Those are the illumination/dimming wires.

    Same color combo for when I tapped into when I was hooking up my heated mirror switch.

    Morning Gents,
    Well i spent allot of time soldering last night, and got 33 fully assembled, and the resistors on another 60. All the rest of the resistors and LED's including the custom stuff is on order and should be here Tuesday. So with any luck i will be completely caught up on the orders by Friday!!

    Not to bad considering i said i would be shipping the third week of Feb.

    :woot:

    Just went over the google instruction sight. Nice clear pics, thanks. Either way you wire it you have to tie into a green wire with white stripe and a green wire, so I don't see any advantage to cutting the wire, slodering and pushing the Molex pin into the factory connector, it's just 3 extra steps. I don't see any reason to do it or am I missing something ?

    It really is a user option, what it allows is the ability to remove the switch without cutting wires. Say you have another project where you have to remove the dash or something. If it is hard wired you will have to cut the wires to fully remove the switch. If its attached to the harness, then it is simply a connector. It's an option, really up to the customer.

    Holy chit, I've done a lot already!!
    Internet Explorer is lame. If it was that big of a hassle you probably should have skipped it, cause installing it might be too hard also :rolleyes: You shouldn't apologize for anything rcbs204, thank you for your hard work!!

    This sort of thing scares the bejeezus out of me. My wife and I need to get better about shredding, etc. How did you find out about it?
