I installed this weekend. I got from H & A Accessories quite cheap. It isn't too tough to install. Yes you do lose the pocket to the left of the steering wheel where the switches go. Took me a couple hours taking my time.

You pop off a few dashboard panels and route the wiring harness. Probably the hardest thing is the routing of the wire based on looking at the instructions. That isn't too bad. Just find the big fat main wirning harness & follow that. Then pop everything out the middle console & then the end one back around and out from under the glove box.

Overall, it looks nice at night. Not too bright. Just a soft LED glow under the dash for the driver & front passenger & in the middle pocket area. Basically, 3 small LED light just mount onto the dash board.

I bought this when I bought the mud flaps which were VERY easy to install. I do recommend that you jack up the back end a bit to make access easier to put the screws in for the back ones. Easier than removing the tires & makes things a lot quicker & less frustrating. Also, it's easiest if you break the pin attaching the deflector with a pair of pliers rather than trying to remove it.

The front ones are simplistic to install.
