My prototype features a "mercury switch" for automatic activation when the hood is raised as well as a kill switch if you don't want the lights on. The kits will be sold with some options to better fit the buyers needs.

Rob's goal was to design a rear bumper that had more structural integrity than the factory version but yet maintain a somewhat OEM look. He also wanted to design a bumper that cost wise would be less expensive than some of the more elaborate versions on 'MUD.

Electrical Gremlins.....
Rob has converted all of the interior lighting to LED however the center dome light failed recently. Upon inspection, the power wire had completely burned through. A "short" would have been the first suspect however all of the dome lights utilize the same power source and ground in a similar fashion and they were all working normally. The faulty dome light, once rewired, worked on the bench and the power in the dome assembly tested normally. (This is where having a sharp electrical guy pays dividends.)
The previous owner had undoubtedly used a screw driver at some point to remove a faulty bulb and in the process, had ever so slightly damaged one of the tabs that holds the factory bulb. Rob noticed the imperfection and once corrected, all of the LED dome lights are now shining away.
