I drive a 98 F-150 with a camper shell on it, Texas just started requiring that the center tail light worked. Well, mine didn't so I replaced it. The center light works now except whoever wired it originally, I just spliced it in under the camper shell to keep the fuse intact, when I use the left turn signal it causes the center light to blink. The right side works fine and as it should so at least it is one thing less to fix. The way you did this install and the little extra attention to detail is what sets you apart. I wish every mechanic/tech or whatever you want to call them, were as conscientious and detail orientated as you are. Great job!

Watching these older videos shows a couple things. You're a fantastic guy/mechanic then and now and no matter what job it is, big or small, you show the details of the process both good and bad meaning when everything goes smooth and if mistakes were made. Also you're good in front of the camera with how you explain things, you make the average DIY'er not feel like a dumbass. thanks for that. The only thing I can really see that has changed since the early days of videos is your on camera comfort. Some day I'll make the almost 2000 mile trek from Warman Saskatchewan Canada to visit the shop. Take care.

Torqued to factory specs. is that 1 ugga dugga or 2 ugga dugga? lol. A body saw would have worked better on the fascia. smaller blade, faster saw. That aftermarket junk fit! Whoda thunk it! Nice install! A+ on the attention to detail! Sensor relocation, ac line, schmooothin the cut area on the fascia and tail light wiring. Cool kit! I would expect nothing less from SMA. You leave the other mechanics in the dust!

Quick tip for removing these newer style taillights. Go to Home Depot and get a pair of their cotton gloves with the blue rubber palms. Gives you grip on the lens to slide the taillight assembly back off its pins. Works every time without any damage. Be sure to lube the plastic pins for easy removal the next time.

As CONFUCIUS ONCE SAID: There is a FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING. The age old question still confuses many. WHICH CAME FIRST THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG? The ANSWER IS BOTH. The CHICKEN EVOLVED FROM ANOTHER CREATURE, BEFORE IT COULD LAY THE EGG AND THAT EGG HATCHED INTO THE MODERN CHICKEN. SO THE CORRECT ANSWER IS BOTH.

Not only are your videos fun, but they are educational as well. I had forgotten the wire twist method with the drill and I will try drilling backwards with a hole saw through plastic. That's a new one for me. Thanks Mr O! Take care. Jpol

We mostly use the double insulated wiring when we wire up aftermarket crap, it's a bit more abrasion resistant so that helps a lot in those places you just can't fit your hand and a cable tie at the same time.

I'm not so sure about those push pins used to install that front electrical connector. There is a lot of force and friction when those connectors are pulled out. Hate to see holes ripped in that plastic.

We are looking for a newer towed vehicle for our MH. Have you seen a lot of problems with the chevy Equinox? I put the base plate on our current toad, a 03 Saturn Ion quad coup. Thanks
