Brief Description:  Post lights & static line

I started off putting D-sub pins on the LED Post Light wires. Ralph mentioned doing this during his build and it made sense for these small wires that draw less than 1 amp. The point is that it makes a far "thinner" splice connection than if you used three AMP splice connectors. I will put shrink wrap over the connections once I have the other wires ready with the female pins. Then just for extra safety I will tie some lacing on the wires. This should work nicely. In addition if I had to replace a post light I can detach the pins rather than cutting off the splices.

Before running the sheilded wire that I will use to bring the post lights to the dimmer etc, I wanted to run the static line. I had to drill out a couple tooling holes and put snap bushings from the back to the front to support the line and keep it from chafing. I have to make a hole in the corner of my sub panel on my instrument panel to pass the static line and the sheilded wire through. It's a little bit of a challenge to put it where it will be as out of sight as possible for asthetics.
