Default Push start button installed

So my button came in yesterday and so I took the time out thins morning to install it. It was very easy and quick.

This none is slightly different that the SRT ones that everyone else likes so much. Those are cool but I didnt want a red button in my dash. So after lots of searching I found this one. The thing I really like about it is that is it black. The only thing I dont like about it is that it has a blue LED ring around it. There are 3 wires to the switch so I got my meter out and checked the wires for which ones are for the switch. So I disconnected the LED wire. I popped out the cig lighter and screwed this in place. The black (-) wire went to ground on my lighter. The red (+) wire and one of the blue wires (relay side) went to the hot side of the cig lighter. The other blue wire got tapped into the yellow ignition wire under the steering wheel.

Here are some decent pics. I will post more and better later.

That looks good! Does the push button start replace the keys or do you still have to turn the key then press the button?

That Looks good where did you get that switch at I have not found one that looks like that one. I really like the idea of the blue led light.
