[QUOTE="TED, post: 888780, member: 18460"] It was for me too! I just jumped in in the deep end and read the posts and figures if I could just start somewhere it would be a good thing. I'm ready to hook it all up this week time permitting. My first experience with the upfitter switches was to re-wire them since the Ford Dealer did it wrong. Youtube had some video of how this is wired and accomplished....very helpful. And the Rigid light bar in the grill which is a combo of white and amber "Rocks" I added two pair of the white and amber Rigid D 2 fogs and the mounting plate for around $1000 total. Again, I removed the "generic" bar light the Ford Dealer put on my truck since it went bad. the new lights are perfect and look totally awesome. Brighter than the sun! I wired them into the upfitter switches #2 and #3. I saved the #1 for the exhaust cut out. the challenge with wiring in a cut out is simple, turns out, once you understand the electrical mechanics of the wire schematic. Cut outs are positive power to open and to close then no power. That's why they come with a factory "rocker type switch" Like a power window, when they are at the end of either open or closed, they need to stop being powered. thus a rocker type witch. the time serves the same purpose.....I hope! More when I get it finished,,,,, ted [/QUOTE]
