How did u want them to be activated and controlled?

Oh those are way nicer. Even comes with a control box with settings too

I wanted to mainly have to turn on when I open the door. Does it require extra work or any modifying the kit to get it to work that way?

Nope, it's easy you just need to hook it up to the door switch/trigger.

The problem is that I didnt do it myself so I need to dig under the dash to see what the install guy did

I had to edit it to add non-caps text first.

NO MAKE IT RED. Blue is not excited, blue is chill, like your attitude and car.

hmm...So do you think I could possibly pull this off if I tinkered around under there? I would have to rate my experience a zero out of 10 on these things. Just so you know. Haha!

Well here is the wiring diagram but finding the right wire could be tricky.

I should prolly look into it first. I'll try to find some time this week

THe mod insulates the AC lines from the Exhaust and the Engine which get VERY hot and located right next the the AC. Unfortunately many car manufacturers dont bother insulating them or moving them out of the way.

It improves AC performance!

and it costs $1-$5 depending on how nice of an insulator you want. Sold in home depot

Question, what is the red line in:

http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_1065.jpg

and why does it look like it is about to make sweet sweet love to the alternator belt and pulley?

the insulation held up GREAT after an hour of highway driving. Looks like new!

Yeah, after you found the heat range for it (-297°F to +220°F or -183°C to +105°C, for the record) I wasn't too worried. I just finished doing my car, which was WAY easier.
