Thanks guys. Mine came with the KC Slimlites I installed. And to answer a previous question getting the panel off for install is ridiculously easy. Grab at the top and it snaps right off. The light project in general is a very clean, very easy install.

Switches definitely get hit by the boot on a manual tranny. the shop that did my work zip-tied the boot down low on the stick, but it makes it harder to push into gear. its kind of annoying. I will have to find a better solution.

If I put the light switches where HaHaJK and/or ESPMike did, is there a way to keep people from turning them on and running the battery down if I have the doors off for example? I'm looking for a good place to put them...not a big fan of the daystar panel...looks kinda clunky imo...no offense to anybody using it - I'm sure it's good...

Obviously looking for something slick/factory looking, suggestions? Pix would be great. Thanks.
Try this thread. Some good ideas.

Since I don't like the idea of cutting or drilling into my dash, I mounted my PIAA switch on the drivers side mounting hardware for the seat. It's out of the way as well as the wires, easy to get to, as I just lower my arm to the seat ratchet and it's just forward of that. I know when it's on, because the light from the switch reflects a small light off my lower door panel.

How do you know if it's on during the day?

I mounted my locker switches inside the glove box on the back "wall". I wanted them out of sight in case I have to take it to the dealership.
