I knew you would like this metal. And yes, I did. they all end up going to two prongs, and they each have one Resistor on them.

BTW, Sweet job on your work as well! we will have to meet up sometime.

I love it. I was thinking of moving my climate control up there, moving the radio down, and putting a 7" screen in the GXE kit.

Beautiful man.

It is all custom fiberglass work, took about 2.5 months to make.

but I wasn't posting pics of my climate control, I was posting pictures of all the work i did on my lights. I had a huge thread about when i made the climate control a while back.

but its all good, any compliments are welcome. hehe

That looks awesome
i have almost the same set up going but instead put my ac controls in the cup holder
never had any experience with fiberglass so i used 3 aftermarket dash kits, glued them all togather and painted it
check it out if you want ---> http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/misiek...f4.jpg&.src=ph

once again nice work!
