Catcher, if they are from 99centnoreserve, get them!
I got 1 of the 3 from him. very fast shipping. the box wa a bit dusty, but the lights were perfect. There is also a guy named "earthlinked" that sells them for a flat $22 + $12 s&h. I got the other 2 sets from him. refresh this page as I will be editing this post with instructions and such. My computer keeps dieing for some reason, so I am submitting often to avoid losing stuff, then editing...
The lights come with a wire harness with 4 wires.
1 & 2) Red and black go right to the battery for power. I used Corwyyn's method of getting through the firewall. I ran ONLY the red and black wires out this hole. I left the relays inside the cabin, under the kick plate with the hood release. This should keep them nice and dry as opposed to them being in the hood area. The red and black wires are easily lonh enough to get to the battery if the relay is behind the kick panel. I used some clear silicon to seal off the hole since I kinda destroyed the rubber peice that was in there
3) Blue goes to the lights, green goes to the switch. I ran the blue wire up the weatherstripping that runs right past the fuse area, then up to the rack at the back top corner of the drivers door. I used a weatherproof plug I found at Pep Boys on the blue wire so that I could esily disconnect them to remove the rack.
4) I soldered all 3 green wires together and ran them to the switch. I located my switch on the thing peice of trim between the instrument cluster cover and the large peice that goes under the stearing wheel. It's where the stock switch would go, and there is a conveneient opening right behind it that gives easy access for running the wires to it. The switch then goes to ground (anywhere really) and a power source. On the plug that goes into the intrument cluster there is a yellow/green wire it is the 12v that lights the instrument panel at night. I used a tap-in to pull power from that. Since the relays use such a small amount of power to trip them, I think I should be fine.
ok, now, the lights... The have 2 wires each, one goes to ground, the other goes to the blue wires. Since the rack has a good ground, I just used an eyelet to attach the ground for each light to the bolt that holds that light to the rack. Other than that, you just have to align them. I have done that yet, just eyeballed them. Tonight i'll aim em better.
