Thank you!

IMO you made it really hard on yourself. There is plenty of power coming from your lights on the ceiling. Pop off the plastic piece up top, tap into the light power source (including grounded wire) and you're off and running. There is plenty of space in there for extra wiring too. No need to route it all the way around your windshield into the fuse box. Those lights turn off after the car is off for more than 30 seconds so its not sucking any extra power when the car is off.

That's good to know and the first time I read about tapping into the lights up top. Makes sense, since I used that source for the V1 mount on the M6.

Do you have any additional details, like the hot/ground wire colors? Pics?

kiger0183

Unfortunately no. I had my buddy help me who has done this numerous times in other vehicles so he was a pro at that point and knocked it out while I pretty much watched and handed him tools haha. You really just need a electrical test meter once you strip the silicone insulation around the wire. A credit card was the easiest way to pop open the plastic piece up top.

I have a credit card and a multimeter, but my buds aren't as talented. Will give it a shot, thanks!

If you've done it on your M6 it should be pretty easy for you. Ironically my buddy who helped me has done it on his M4 and his wife's X5M so you're good company.

Good luck!

Winter is Coming! Bought her a nice blanket (i.e. OE Porsche Tequipment cover) to keep her shielded against the whitewalkers Thx J-!

Installed Crazy Eddie's side bolster protectors for the buckets. Easy install, awesome product. Can barely tell they are there!

HelpMeHelpU

Very cool. I may try tomorrow or Sunday. Not so handy so may reach out for tips and support. Also noticed we live in the same state. How far are you from GWB?

Enjoy!

I am planning to do mine over the weekend as well, and can give you some thoughts/pointers once I do so in case you need them (as well as can help as I am not too far, maybe 20-30 mins).

Quality looks top notch and I opted for the red stitching on the little bolster protector piece which to me flows more naturally than the factory piece that has no stitching on it.

I've had mine on for about a week. Great fit.

JohanS430

Sounds like there is plenty of support here. Feel free to PM. I am just 15 mins from the GWB in Bergen county. How about you?

I put mine about 3 weeks ago, they look amazing. Thank you ED I know all the trouble you when thru to get this perfect, people don't believe me I have a bolster cover on the seats. IMO best covers in the market.

Put the car up on Jackpoints and got it ready for:
1. TPC DSC install - Done
2. TPC rear toe links
3. Spiegler brake lines
4. Prep for BBI roll bar
5. Sizing up hardware for Dundon headers

if the wiring is the same as a 16 GTS with lighting pack then it is the wire connector with the yellow and blue connector. I believe one wire is black (could be brown) and the other is colored. IIRC the colored is the switched. I googled it and found pics and a walk through but don't remember where. I checked mine with a multimeter. Please test first.

I used the wire tap from blend mount because it had a small inline fuse.

When you you pull down the front edge of the light pod just pull it down enough to see most of the silver clips that hold the front in...then slide the whole unit toward you. The tabs in the back are plastic and could break if you pulled down too far without pulling forward. I used a thin drywall spatula wrapped in 1 round of masking tape instead of a credit card to pop it down.

Good luck. It's not too difficult.
