Hi everyone, I know this has been covered many times before but after coming across this install in this How To section I realized that most of the links did not work and none of the pics showed any more. In my books a pic is worth a thousand words so after reading between the lines of all these installs that have been done in the past I went ahead and did it and now want to show an up to date How To with a lot of pics. I am not going to go into specifics on what Evic fits what models, there are plenty of info on that already out there, this is more for after you have everything and want it done so here goes.....
The parts you will need, the Evic which in my case is off a 01 300M Serial #ending in AC, a spool of trailer wiring, a fuse buddy connector, wire connectors with built in solder and of cause the pig tail off the Evic..
First I started by making my wiring loom,at this stage it does not matter what color you connect to what color, that will only matter when it comes to hooking up to the Diagnostic plug. But I did try to match colors to make sense of it all.
I used these connectors because they give a good join and they heat shrink them selves plus the colored bands are actually glue which also melt around the wire, I still used heat shrink tubing over them for added protection.
Next it was onto the over head lights, remove them by getting your fingers under the edges of the side and pull down, you may have to wiggle it a little bit once you have one side off the other side comes out easier. It is held in place by spring clips that pop into a slot in the mounting bracket.
Inside if you are lucky 02,03 models and maybe 04 you will find a mounting bracket, if not then you will have to source one from some where like flea bay or dealers.
