Pardon my noobness, but the brown box looking thing in this picture,



where does it go? I see it near the shifter when the whole thing is dismantled. Do you stuff it in there? Also, what is it (a fuse?)?

This will be my first DIY mod. Thanks!

You're welcome. My installer, Matt, just put the Brown plastic box inside the shift boot (or below switch). It's a relay.

Check your pm for ordering info. There are VERY limited quantity available until next shipment.

thanks

I also need just the switch!! But I have no clue where to get it! Anybody knows where?? or the Part number??

I allready have the fog light installed with a 3rd braking light option... but sometimes it attracts to much attention from the cops... So I would like the switch to be able to turn it off...

Thanks!

My concern is the overall expense. How much extra for the "cat" scan?



edit: In case anyone was wondering, they've dropped the price on the light drastically recently. $60. Down from $134.

Any info on the relay specifically? Looking to just build the harness myself with a friend and we have a question about that.
