what i did is ran them all under the car... near the heater blower there was a bracket with one relay on it. so i attached my power supply connector thing there. very outa sight as it is closest to the blower behind the relay. only wire in the interior was the rear tube had to run that into the truck fender area under the door sill and out with the power wire to the amp, which is in the front passenger side where all the wires come in for the ecm.

my switch is in the center console. was a fog light switch from a prevoius owner, but it is black rocker sytly and fits with the car style perfectly

all my other wires are running along the rear of the engine fire wall in the looms that were already there. yes it takes alot of time wiring them. installing them was cake compared to running the wires.

Ran the side tube's wires up unto the fender well and over the plastic fender liner where they can't be seen. The rear wires I ran along the frame rail till I could meet them up with the side wires. The junction block I put in the fenders on either side zip tied to the fenders support bracket. I have ziploc bags over them to keep off any splashed water.

All this can't be seen unless you are under the car. The under hood/in car wiring was run thru a bundle of wires I made just for aftermarket wiring. The bundle runs on the drivers side from the battery thru the fire wall to under the drivers dash. The power wire goes in this bundle from the bat thru the firewall to the underdash area. Where it is fused and runs to the switch. From there I ran the signal wire back out the bundle to the hole in the fender area right by the bat. There it drops right to the junction block.

For the passenger side I had to run the neon wires to a junction block in the pass fender. Its signal and power wire took the route to the passenger compartment thru the nose.
