The trunk release switch is actually a damn good idea.
yes that is! I was a little worried at first the switch's I choose were to big, but they worked out great. A button for the trunk would be nice though.

I live in Indiana out in the country - lots of back roads - so ya I'm going to run 3 sets of fogs up front for those dark rides home

Thanks for the idea, it looks clean! I'm going to AutoZone today and pick one up for my Conversion Van. I have a switch that I would like to get mounted for the surround sound.
I do agree with the other posters, use one of your switches for a trunk release.

Question, does your car have Ford's Anti-Theft system on it? I was just wondering if adding switches there would cause any problems.

Shouldn't to my knowledge - I took some more pics yest I'll post them when I'm all done up, but I ran a power and a ground straight from my battery with a fuse in it.

Shifty, quick question, is it illegal in your area to run more than 4 lights at one time? Reason I ask is because a group of us went on a cruise in SoCal, and one was running his headlights, and 2 sets of fogs. He got pulled over and was given a ticket for running too many lights.

Not real sure to be honest with you - but I don't plan on running all 6 on the public town roads - I'll have to look into it

Foot Well Lights


Strobes - There not really bright at all

Where did you buy your foot well lights from and can you make a DIY instructions of how to put them on? That would be great.

Your car looks great, keep up the good work.

ahh those police strobes are sick but will get you into sticky situations if you aren't careful!
(unless you are fire rescue or something)

I really like the switch spot, it looks clean!

You CAN get tickets for too many lights up front, I know a member here that had the Cervinis front end and ran all the fogs at once (GT grille fogs, lower grille eleanor fogs, and headlights) and got pulled by a statey on the hwy.

LEDs look tight too!
