Hey ya'll I was wonderin if ya'll can help me out with my dilemma? Can you post some pics of your switch/gauge location? They gave me two metal brackets.. one for the switches and one for the gauges.. I just don't know where I can put it where it'll be clean and easy to get to the switches (

Thanks so much in advance.. doin the install very soon.. ) glad to join this club..

In place of the ash tray, in place of your cup holder, Inside the glove compartment, center console. I have mines in the cup holder since its just 2 paddle switches and 1 gauge. The metal bracket fits perfect in the cup holder. But you can basically put it anywhere you want. Do whatever is convenient for you to access your paddle switches.

basically summed it up

most people put it within the ash tray or center console. theres a thread on here with interior pics, some have gauges that u can see to get an idea

KoOl ended up putting the manual switches in the ashtray.. but the place I took my brand new kit to install was soo shady.. not only did they do a bad install.. they took forever and took all my brand new parts and gave me used rusty parts ( still waiting on them to finish up my ride(a month or so later) thanks to Manny(guy I bought my kit from) that's the only way I got my brand new parts back.. they still need to give me some brand new parts back.. lag like no other (
