Hey Guys,
Planning to do a wireless LED light bar setup behind the grille. Below are the core parts I need/ordered. There is also a bit of code I wrote to give me ON/OFF and a per button press double flash. I didn't want to run any more wires into the car or cut/drill anything to install switches. More info/progress to come!

Parts:
Black Oak 20" single row Combo Led Light Bar - $315
Arduino UNO chip - $2
Simple RF T4 Receiver - 315MHz Toggle Type - $4.95
Keyfob 4-Button RF Remote Control - 315MHz - $6.95
SSR-25DD 3-32VDC Output 5-60VDC 25A Solid State Module - $8.35

I was contemplating getting the DRL from drive bright and came upon that very post lol. I instantly thought damn that so much cooler! I also initially thought I would make them flash much more but it sank in that it would be just a little bit illegal to do that on public roads.

Had to fix the mounting location of one of the U clips as it was rusted and chewed the plastic when I tried to unscrew it, anti-seize EVERYTHING lol.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I've been derusting, the bumper support is black for a reason lol had to take a pneumatic rotary tool to it and shoot some primer/paint on it. I also put silicone under the brackets of the light bar so the self tapping bolts are covered, no way for water to get in/under.
