    phenomenal write-up man! Seriously you set the bar for clarity, step by step instructions, etc. Really makes me confident I can install mine now.

    QQ- regarding the stock wiring, which color wire is the brake and which is the bed light? Assuming white is ground. Also what gauge wires did you use?

    They are shipping as quick as I make them. And with such a large batch, that is why I posted the 3 week lead time. We are right at that date, and the rest are just about to go out. Did you have one ordered?

    Thanks for the nice words. I think you got your answer on the wire colors. For wire size, I think the wires on the KC lights are about 14 or 16 gauge...I used these almost exclusively because they had the bullet connectors. I only patched in my own wire where I needed the length...and it was the same wire size...in my pictures you can see the white wire I used to patch a length. The wires on the truck harness are much smaller...at least 20 gauge, maybe even smaller. But I just connected them up and they work great.

    I thought I had recalled some questions on building out for install. Seeing the offer of the assembly with lights made me think you were overwhelmed with the project.
