AS SOON as I read the title I KNEW someone had gone in behind the glove box! AHhahaa. I have scars. I did mine, SOLDERED and once done the lights did not work???? SHIT! Back under and remove MY shrink wrap and it was all wired right. SHIT! Back up front to find a disconected bullet connector at the light. SHIT HAhahaaaa. Welcome to the club. GAWD FORD, You gave us all in the ass when we bought the truck, just go ahead and give us another 6 inches but in another area! Ahahhaaa.

I'm not sure if someone mentioned this yet but when I hooked up my lights I had my wife do the wiring behind the glove box. With het little hands it was a breeze for her! Just a thought.

The thing is they did include extra wire. it's looped around and taped up. It's shouldn't be too hard once you pull that extra wire out. Are you guys not doing that?

You BETTER be wrong!! I read every single post and thread on this topic and, while I read that you can get a "little" extra by taking the tape strapping off, it didn't yield me more than an inch or so!

No, I didn't slice the loom at all. There was a single piece of tape, securing the wire ends...that's all. No loops of wire!

I'm thinking KEVLAR fingerless gloves, the auto stripper, and some kick ass pigtail crimp connectors.

I'm not new to crawling into, under, and through a dash. But, realistically speaking, I think this was more of a disappointment that a hassle. After all, I've had to stretch my own wires on a dozen cars. This time, I was friggin jacked to think the wiring was already done.

Oops. My bad. ;-(

Glad to see I wasn't the only one to bust a nuckle while splicing the wires...

Im with everyone else I had a hard time getting my fat fingers in there but. I finally added a few inches of extra wire and that made a world of difference.

Also I didn't solder any connections even under the hood but I used heat shrink connectors and heat shrink over top of that
