Thanks! yeah, I decided to try it.........I started last night after work
and spent about an hour on it..........ran the wiring through the firewall
and hooked up the parking light option and installed/connected the pin
switch...........
Hardest part was feeding all the wires through the existing
hole.......wanted to keep it as small as possible.....used plastic
wireloom.......all in all, not bad so far.......
I figure I'll be hooking up the power and actually getting into the inside
wiring tonight or maybe I'll wait till tomorrow...............
Thanks for the advice!
