if you got the kit, nothing more is needed all the wiring etc. is in the box.
Edit:
some zip ties and a length or two of wireloom might be nice if you like to make things neat.

Carefully plan where you want your switches, Types of switches If you have a stick shift, You dont want them to turn off when you are in your forward gears ie... 1st 3rd and 5th gears, How many total lights evetually, would you like, Placement of your relay switches, or do you want to go with a different type of relay. Believe me you'll get the hang of it quickly. Go to meet and greets and get some ideas. Ask around here ask for pix too.

The install was easier than I thought it was going to be... Take your time and it will come out great! The instructions are relatively easy to follow and definitely ask questions if you aren't sure about anything...

Do you have an automatic or standard??? It can be tricky getting the wiring into the standards cab due to a metal firewall on the drivers side....You can go through on the passanger side under the glove box but you need to wrap all the wires really well with electrical tape in order to squeeze them through....
Good luck with the install and if you encounter any problems hit up the forum and just ask....there's tons of guys and girls here that can help!

I've got a manual and there is a hole that is filled with foam that goes through... I took a hanger and poked from the inside of the cabin out through the firewall.. There is one of these holes on their side... Many people have used these holes and I'm sure with a quick search, you can find pics to get the location...

If you have space lay the wiring harness out on the ground first to understand where it is all set to go.
This helped me alot with the wiring.
And have some wiring conduit, black tape, and black zip ties to make it all pretty.
Plan your wire routes carefully so you only have to do it once.

I mounted a set of KC slim lights on my TJ a few years back. Went much quicker then I thought it was going to be. The longest part was figuring out where I wanted the switch. (ie cut a hold in the dash) Once I figured that out and cut the hole the rest is pretty simple with the instructions that they give you. Good luck, and lets see a pic when your done.
