Stupid question, but how did you guys hook up the passenger side positive cable to the drivers side cable that needs to be T-tap to the grey wire? Thanks

Yea

Yea what?? I need to know how people hooked up the positive passengers side cable to the drivers side cable. My passengers side cable is short, it won't reach the grey wire, do I t-tap it to the drivers side positive wire??

chris0834 · 03-16-2011, 03:47 PM

Yes you t-tab the postive from the passenger to the postive on drive side that's what I did in mine

Exactly, just run they wire through the center under the dash and connect it to the other positive from the drivers side then connect it to the t-tap.

And if you're lucky someone has long ass arms to reach thru the center console...

Heh. I used a long, thin piece of wood as a "fish".

Haa! Yeah thanks for the use of yours when installing Mindz's! (Haa that looks funny)
I have long arms, just a bit "thicker" than yours

They don't squeeze into many places.

Thanks guys!!

Added the rear lighting today.

TonyNo · 03-17-2011, 10:39 PM

Looks good. Attached to seat?

gahammerle · 03-18-2011, 08:55 AM

Yes, attached the LED strips to the bottom of the seat. They came with an adhesive back which seems to hold quite well to the seat material. I also added some quick disconnects to the wires so I don' have to cut wires if I need to remove the seat.

Installed the rear footwells today. Was very easy...a little super glue held it just fine, but used a good 'ole needle with some fishing line to hold it in place better and quick disconnects in case I have to remove the rear seat.

Shown is the SPDT switch that controls the front and rear footwells. Up is with the dome light and down is constant on. Power is coming from the Dome Light wire and the constant from the lighter receptacle.
