This is coming along great, very nice. I have a few questions about the DD multi color angel eyes if you don't mind, is that the "pre-made" kit for the Tiburon? That's what I've been looking into, I believe it's $120. Did you get the 24 button remote or 28? Can you show a picture of either/or? Also did your kit come with a switch or did you wire them to your other lights? I've been looking into getting these soon so any helpful information is appreciated!

@KelConquer they're the kit from diode dynamics I got the 24 button remote and I wired them to the city lights it has a wiring diagram for all the wires on the relay they're good quality and I love them they're unhooked at the moment cause I'm gunna be getting new headlights again and swap them into the new ones
