Rocker Switch for V1 Installed

Spent quite a bit of time today with a friend wiring up a rocker switch for my Valentine 1. I have the switch mounted near my interior led control box, and it's easily accessible. The rocker switch lights up when I have the V1 on and is not lit when it's off. I'll make a DIY if enough people want one, but I don't think too many people have radar detectors here. Also, it's worth noting that my friend and I MAY have found a HOT power source in the front fuse box. Not completely sure yet, but I'll update later with more info.

Here are some pics of my fusebox now (complete mess) and the rocker switch:

when they use laser, you're most likely ****ed already
so might as well get best radar detection locally

I'm getting a little bit of squeak coming from the rear driver's side suspension over bumps and dips. Any help or insight on what this might be?

there were a number of reasons why i decided against hid's for fogs.
1. convenience lighting...on/off bad for hid kits
2. risk of ***** melting
3. more than double the cost of the piaas
4. error messages/resistor crap

the piaas will work fine for me
