It's a pretty in depth process but the gyst of it was that the terminating point is the front fuse box and turns on only when the parking/running lights are on...there is a relay utilized inbetween so that the LED's are isolated and no extra load is seen at the fuse box, which may have created problems w/overload. The on/off switch is in the front ash tray along with the Passport 9500ix controller.

Just some more pics...
The interior pics may have been washed out by the flash...it really is a black alcantara headliner...not gray.

And the carbon on the door handles and the door pins. Just amazing. Truly amazing. I was sick of black E classes until I saw this beauty.

Hey Jon, you should bug Chris about tinting the clear side markers on the mirrors. He was going to do mine, but ran into a disassembly snag, so I sent him a mirror housing off ebay to do "practice surgery" on. I talked with him last week & completely forgot to ask if he had played with it at all.

I think that would be the final step for you.

And of course, your car is freakin ridiculous! Very, very nice!
