Today I cleaned off the snow on my truck, and installed a fuse tap to make the backlight feature of my ditch lights work.
The light bar I want (BD) has anger backlight. I need to copy this idea. What fuse tap did you use/where did you get it and which fuse did you tap?

I did this today and let it run for a while. I drove it once so far in January. Not trying to preserve anything special, just like beating up on the Subaru in the crappy weather.

That heated steering wheel is nice and I never realized I would actually want that lol.

Nice work! It looks like a totally different truck.

Agrerd on the heated wheel. I always thought it was dumb and a waste of money until it came with with a truck I bought off the lot. Now I won't own a truck with out it. Same foe heated and cooled seats.

Micro2 fuse tap from amazon, link below.
I tapped into a 15 amp fuse for the cleriance id lights. I would not recommend buying from the link below. I had to file the plastic down to get it to fit as they wouldn't seat all the way down.

I also had ro cut a small hole into the bottom lip of the fuse box so I could run the wire out the side and still have he lid close.

How did you update the firmware, or a link showing how it's done? That is cool.

Use at your own peril.

Are they brighter then oem led?
I have the Squadron Sports on my 4Runner, in the OEM fog location, and there is no chance I can run them with other vehicles around. They are incredibly bright. They do make an SAE approved model, but I have no experience with them.

Do all the gauges work?

Also curious if your hill descent button you added will work now.

Gauges work, haven't checked the roll indicators.

Not sure yet on the hill descent. It did act a little different, but the EVIC still said not available at this time and the LED on the button still turned off. ;-( I'm guessing the roll gauges aren't going to work and this is why my hill descent doesn't work - still related to the 3500 truck code D2.

Waiting for Performance pages to show up on the radio, but Jimmy said none of it is likely going to work.

It also didn't fix the damn forward facing camera/guidelines, still kills my surround view and the button doesn't do anything.

Pitch and roll do not work. ;-(

Probably explains why my hill-descent doesn't work.

Performance pages button showed up, app will not start so that one's a big no-go.

Front Facing camera button pops up on the Off-Road page also if I enable it, but still doesn't work.

Probably worth updating the radio for the 2500 guys, Can't say it does much for my 3500 as everything else was working fine (and hopefully still is).

Well not what i did to my ram but what the suicidal deer did…. Jumped out of the ditch and in to my truck there was no avoiding it now it needs a front bumper, headlight, front fender, fender liner, running board, drivers door, rear door drivers side, im sure some hidden parts behind the front facia

Pictures do not really capture it, and to make it worse i stopped to load up the deer and a transport took out the hind end so i didnt even get any meat!
