I hope all is well with you, I was just watching some old videos and wondering how you're making out.

That’s a pretty sanitary installation. Back in the ‘60’s I helped my older brother install driving lights, fog lights, etc. He was a semi- professional rally driver. The lights back then were all incandescent and drew serious current. That required some heavy duty relays and a rather large control panel with large heavy- duty switches. We also had to install a much larger alternator on the car. That was not as easy as it sounds. Ah, progress. Looks good, Steve.

That switch kit is what makes the system so easy. But now I have 6 switches and one light set. I have to figure out the other 5. Currently I would like to add some small 2x2 hood lights and some recessed backup lights. That would be 3 down, 3 to go. Or me being practical. Just 3. It's nice to know I have future options left.

I bought turn signal lamp bulbs. The package came with small tubes of the terminal grease. I took one out, showed my wife... "Hey look, a vial of blinker fluid." She was not amused... But I was. :)

Ha! not since the first intro video of the 4runner has the engine been cleaned in that post-purchase detailing. I think the dirt may be holding it all together. Besides, it will just get dirty again.

Corolla already had pretty good led lights but didnt come with fogs so i got some little pricy but well worth it.... They are street legal too 👍🍀 decided to go with actual amber to instead of just covers they were cheaper than some of the other brands but just as nice

I did not know they had them until I looked on the website. They appear to be a snap on type of accessory. Fairly cheap so they are a maybe, but not much fog out in the desert SW. Northern costal California may change my mind.

Good testing. I am interested because I have the 9012 headlights in my 2015 Dodge Dart and even with Auxbeam LED's they are simply not very bright. So I'm interested in a set of lightweight Baja lights that I can place in the grille.

Check the weight on the website. I was surprised at the heft and feel. Built like a tank. I saw smaller ones on the site that my have your lightweight requirement. The system was the winner for me. Seamless integration of lights and controller.
