I dont have any photos right now but i can take some for you tomorrow if you need them. Pretty easy install I went right off the the battery. I upgraded the wiring like dog put in his DIY, and have two fuses fro switch to lights and from switch to battery. Let me know if you need me to send you some pics and of what.

it pretty easy to do.I did use a little heavier wire and i went with a different 30 amp switch just in case i want to put bigger bulbs in later.The switch that came in my kit looked a little chinse and didnt like the looks of it.Other than that i just followed the directions that came with it and tapped into my fog lights instead of the high beams.Grounded everything right next to my relay so everything was in one location.Pretty easy and kinda a fun mod for a afternoon with nothing better to do.
