Well After several weekends I FINELY got these suckers hooked up! Been waiting on time and parts. So I got 2 of the 100 watt spots and mounted them to the axle with 2 pipe bands each.

Took a while to find out what wires went where in this mess that some one made for me. There are wires coming and going everywhere!

Put the relay on the inside of the frame after I did a waterproof job with some tape and got it up out of the way.

Next I ran my switched power and a ground to the lights. I ran a ground just to play it safe and have a ton of wire on hand. Ran the wires in that plastic wire covering, through the frame rails and down to the axle.

Oh yeah I was also wondering where you got your High-idle box.?
Lights where from a user on cumminsforum, you can get them on ebay. Its metal and glass so real top. Used 2 cans of dip, 3 heavy coats each.

And High idle box was from prowelder over on mopar1973man's forum.

Got the 2500 and SLT badges off today dident have time to get the black trim off.
Used a heat gun and a pine paint stick you get at lowes with paint. I took the Pine stick and sanded it to a point to help scrap the sticky off. It worked great! did not mess up the paint or anything. I still have a bit of stuff stuck on the pass door but it will come off soon.

Just for anyone who wants to debadge their truck I found to get the sticky stuff off towards the end lighter fluid works awesome. Just use that with a good rag and buff it off. Also will help take off any left over residue that will attract dirt.
