Default Installing interior light kit

I need some help installing my interior LED kit i ordered from TRD sparks. it had no instructions. Also im thinking a piece or two might be missing. Anyone have a list of what should be included?

I have already e-mailed them, there was no answer when i called a little bit ago.

Thanks

DJ08tc beat me to it.

On other note, did you really spend 100+$ on the interior lighting cathodes plus 2 leds? Where as you could have bought it for like 30 bucks on oznium? If possible return it! And buy it from there

just found the ones on trdsparks. kinda feel like an idiot lol, kept looking over them.

Yeah i know its kinda expensive, but nothing beats the fit of dealer parts, and i really had no idea anyone else had them.

you can get a oznium cathode kit with i think 2 12" tubes and for $9, then all you would need is some extra wire and a switch which is like 10 bucks.

sorry to burst your bubble but still with the dealer you have to drill holes into the cup holders lol.

For the trdsparks kit, just install it like they say.

If you get a kit from oznium, do not extend the wires that go from the cathodes to the transformer, but it is okay to extend the + & - from the transformer to hook it up to the battery and ground.

why because we tried to save you some money, then someone asked a question about the same thing and people answered it. Instead of making another thread on the same exact thing

Thank you kind sir!

You might have been on here for 3.5 yrs but I am sure i have helped a ____ load more people than you, which I did here. Gave you a link, then answered another dudes question, and said you could get it cheaper.
