Finally installed the switch panel and my bed lighting kit today.
Pried off the ashtray holder. It was held by rivets, and it was in the way of the switches.
Flipped it backward and screwed it back into place. The upper lip of the switch panel is sandwiched between this and the dash.
Lights, stuck on with 3M adhesive backing.
Turned on.
Panel painted with Rustoleum Flat Black Enamel. I scratched it on install, but it isn't bad.
Lights off, camera flash off.
Same spot. Lights on, camera flash off.
New sticker.

I'll be meeting someone tomorrow to get measurements for bumpers and sliders. I hope I don't get pulled over for not having one in the meantime.
The zip ties broke again, and the passenger side mount finally sheared, so I'm officially calling it a hazard, and I removed it.

Lol that sucks. If you do just let em know your taking care of it and worse case if you get a summons when you get the bumper you can probably have any issues dismissed

That's what I'm thinking. And I'm flying back to Cleveland on the 30th to get the Camaro. I'll bring that back on the 4th, and I'll probably want to drive it a lot. So I think I can avoid giving the MJ too much road time until I get those installed.
