Took a stab at installing these as I say another user had done.

Shows where I mounted them, removed the prop rod and replaced with Redline Tuning struts), also, under the hood is not this well lit its a fancy camera phone night mode trick haha. It is very poorly lit in real life. Switch is also installed in this pic.

This is all garage lights off, under hood lights on.

This shows the factory clips that hold the washer line and put them on the passenger side, i eventually clamped the 1/4" wire loom in it. It turned out really well. I couldn't find the clips separately but the entire washer line with clips was only $9.

Where I put the switch. I was also going to require a hoodpin trigger but I decided against it since the pair of hood pins have some circuitry in them (measure like 440-999ohms open/close, didnt want to tap that circuit and impact anything).

Mud protection installed, covers some radiator but its aligned between grill slots to minimize airflow impact:like:

Perfect switch too:rock:

The connection to the battery is temporary-ish, I will go dual battery in the near future, so I will perfect this all when I have my 'final' battery configuration.

I put in 1/4" Nutserts and a short 1/4" bolt in each that I had laying around. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of that.

Like the install. Have there been any heat issues with the switch in that location?

If anyone is interested, I used lag screws in the existing clip holes and mounted them in the side. Super clean and really bright!

What size did you use?
I think it was 1/2" x 3/4" long lag screw. Hole size is 5/16". Went to Ace and tried a few out. Don't forget the washers!

No noticeable heat issues. Everything still works just like day one.

Glad to hear. I’m looking to do the same and it looks like the switch will be pretty close to the radiator.
