Back in the game to get these done before winter. I was able to get a ton of the background electrical stuff done to set up everything for testing and installation.
Also got some new rubber mounted. Just a little higher but they definitely fill out the wheel wells a little better. Not bad on gas after calculations either.
Tossed in some underhood lighting. This will come in handy while I work on some of the other projects and God forbid something goes wrong at night.
The OEM inputs for the lighting are in so I can pull directly off the stock lighting system for switching. Kind of handy. I still have to make the harness for splitting this to the two sets of HID that I will be running but that will be just fine for what I need. My only worry is the dimming feature in the dash lighting. If it isn't enough draw the stock electrical will not sense the load and dim the dash when I turn it on. If that's the case I will have to put a resistor on the driver side light.
Just a quick pic of the bracket assembly with the circuit breaker added in and the silver button is for the underhood lights. It glows red which I thought was kind of nifty. It is a waterproof switch assembly so I shouldn't have any issues with it remaining under the hood.
Installed.
OOOOOOOhhhhhh pretty colors LOL. I guess I didn't forget everything about electrical wiring.
Industrial grade velcro is da bomb!!! They are very secure and it's a 3m product so I trust that it will remain that way.
Had to get creative with the mounting on the driver side ballast but it works and should be plenty close for wiring.
This is the heart and soul of the HID system. I'll be adding a DRL circuit in here as well as an anti-flicker filter to keep everything smooth power wise.
Still 3 more harnesses to come as well as electronic project boxes and oh my!
