    Output shot, I coudln't get the passenger side to level out for the life of me. its not as bad as it looks the image is over exposed.
    Edit: I think the passenger side misalignment has to do with the painted shield, it was hanging up a little during reinstall and should work its way back to level after time.

    Output video: Note to self. Tape off the little follower on the back side of the shield where it rubs against the seperator when the actuator is activated. This delay hopefully will go away in time as it wears the paint away.

    Kit came in under $500 so with paint, wiring, switches misc electrical items, soldering misc and LED's around $650.
    Edit: thats just a guestimate, Probably lower.
    I also spent about 3 weeks total on this trying to get everything just right.

    The kit itself is mostly plug and play. I had to snip the ends of the halo harness and add male/female butt connectors for easy removal and service but other than that its not so hard.

    I have detailed wiring diagrams and schematics for the harness and switches i could share. It's all good.

    Switches look like they're from otrattw.com.

    yes, the switches are from OTRATTW. I ended up with these because i couldn't get a hold of anyone to make custom halo switches. They work good and look good nonetheless

    They do fit directly into the factory locations. Due to the Japanese Poke Yoke ideology you'll have to get in there with a knife and carve out the sides of the openings to allow the switch housing to pass through and engage on the back side of the bezel. You'll just be carving out the parts that only allow certain factory switches to fit in its designated area.

    Looks awesome. I assume you had a blank next to your factory fog light switch? The only blank I have is between the AUX input and the cig lighter. I want to do something like this but I don't know where I would put the switches. I am thinking I might try to customize a dual switch to fit where the factory fog light switch is.

    I actually had two blanks in the fog-light switch panel. so that's where i installed these. you could get a DTDP switch to work two accessories from the same switch.
