ok, take apart your instrument panel, cut a little picture that looks like a hood propped open, then put the LED behind it

^the only difference is that the horn wont honk if someone tries to open the hood while your car is locked.

All you have to do is unplug it and unbolt the bracket from the fender.

Question

There is a bunch of grounding wires that connect to one point under the battery compartment onto the fender well. See red arrows in the pic below. For the guys that tucked these wires, did you extend all those wires or re-ground those wires elsewhere? If you regrounded them, where did you do so?

Thanks!

You can do whatever you want with any of the grounding wires. Cut, shorten, lengthen, reroute, consolidate, doesn't matter.

^Thanks for that.

I winded up finding another mounting point on the fender well, on the passenger side and just bolted it back up. I had to extend the grounds on the drivers side though. It's all buttoned up now but I'll check it again once I jump start my car lol Battery is dead

Thanks again for the pics and tips. They helped out

NO! lol

I'll post a couple of the sides but not the whole bay. I want to finally finish it (I hope) then I'll get full pics up. I guess I should post some pics though cause this is a pic thread lol
