well for one thing you only need all the power wires running off one switch, the grounds can go anywhere. All i did was just run a power wire from the switch, across under the dash and down the pass. side, then tapped in by the switch again and ran one down the drivers side. then you don't have near as far to run the individual power wires to from the led's. the led's don't take very much draw at all so you don't even need a dist. block or big wire, just tap into the 2 you already ran.

its pretty basic stuff once you sit down and just start doing it.

^I somehow knew what part you were going to post there... lol.

It does work. I have a couple of them in my car and they keep things very well organized.
