wiring it it pretty easy, just time consuming. mounting it is the hardest part

It took me like an hour to get the OHC installed but like 10 hours to wire it all up....I ended up using relays and doing the cargo lamps and everything all at once. I had 3 wires (2 OHC temp sensor wires, 1 headlamp wire tap in wire) going down the front and the rest going down the back b pillar with Ford's wiring. It was overkill but it looks tidy.

Brent and I are gonna install mine the right way the 1st time. So i have to go back in and change anything. I can't wait to get it installed. I have a big hole in the front of the headliner above the mirror.

Yeah I hope it wont take us 10 hours to wire it up that would suck but I think we can do it pretty quick and it still be nice and neat not a chop job(and thats not a cut on anyone just a statement)

I'm so OCD It would take me all day to step up and cut the headliner. cause knowing how picky I am I would see one side off by a mm and bug me.
