Did you put the parts on them. I don't think anyone wants to see them in their current ugly state. LOL - you're welcome - Cheers

DUDE LOOKING GOOD - make sure you protect ALL your non OEM wires and secure then every 6" or less. SEcuring OEM wires would be goo too.

Use the square electrical tabs and tip ties they sell at Home Depot. They are made by MARR. Also buy some epoxy for added adhesion. Make sure you clean the surface first before you put them down. If you need more answers you know where to reach me.
