It took me maybe 2 hours to get it all wired up today. I used the small blank spot on the dash where the power pedal button would be for my switch, it looks very clean and I ran the two wires through the firewall where all of the other wires were ran from the factory. I cut a lot of the supplied wire out because they give you about 40 feet in case you are wiring them to a school bus or something. Mine came out really clean. I will post up some pictures tomorrow.

I will post pictures of where/how I mounted them, how I ran the wiring, and the switch inside the truck today after I get out of class.

Damn Cummins. Not enough room for me to do this.

You should tap into your High Beams so they come on with your highs.

Here are some pictures that I snapped really fast. The first one shows where I mounted mine, I measured about 4" from where the cross member bolts together on each side so that they would be positioned equally on each side.



Here is a picture showing where I mounted my relay. It is simply held on with velcro for now because I couldn't find a place that I wanted to mount it permanently. As soon as I find a spot I like, I may move this, but it works for now.



And here is a picture of the switch that comes with the kit installed where the power pedal switch would be (obviously not an option on my truck) and this spot worked out perfectly because this piece can be removed to be drilled, and if for any reason I decide to take the lights off of the truck or sell it, this piece can be replaced with a new factory cap for about 7 dollars.



Let me know if you want any more pictures of anything. Comments and criticism welcomed
