I never got the BLM switch to work (yet), so I figured that I would do the easiest and quickest fix. I really have not tested it out ... other than with the seats back, so I will test it out really well in the next couple of days. The only thing I see wrong so far is that the silver metal template on the front of the WR was put on a little off, so the LED is a little blinding and the tips of the metal are poking my seats. I am going to attempt to heat up the adhesive and adjust the template. (should be an easy fix) I plan to add a switch later on, but the battery pack is an easy temporary fix.
BTW: "Never Forget" is the motto for the 42d ID (National Guard from NY area) and I served most of my tour in Iraq under their command. I wanted to honor those we lost in Iraq and the tear in the eagle's eye was what I had Robert add to pay tribute. I think it came out pretty good.

From Inside ... LED is not being blocked fully (I am going to try and adjust)

Nice WR, Steve! I'm thinking about replacing mine with a V2 down the road. My regular one is connected to the fog light switch and it works out pretty well for me- something you may wish to consider.

That is a great idea Was it easy? (any tips ... ie where the connection point is located) ) That would save me from having to install a switch.

It was really easy. I pulled it into the super-secret test garage at work and got one of the guys to do it! I spent the whole time BSing with someone else because I really didn't want to see him pulling my car apart. It only took about 10 minutes for the entire install, but he had access to wiring diagrams for the car. I did, however break out the phone for a pic while he did it!
(Sadly, it's nothing useful... )

Fantastic tribute, very fitting, very many people will see it.
Great incentive to get out and drive for no reason....
Also I am very impressed with the quality of the laser etching.

Steve,that WR etching looks good. I was wondering if you have driven on the freeway yet. Does the WR v2 have any vibration issues at 60 or more mph?

Not on the freeway yet, but I drove it on a back country road (~60-65 ... cops around) and it held up well. However, I did have both head rests pressed against the WR. The seats really help support the WR and I am about the right height (5'8") to use the seats for support. I will dive with the seats up tomorrow, if it does not rain. I have heard that both (Kappa and WR) are a little unstable around 45 mph and with no support, but I will see for sure. However, If you are around my height, then the seats are a great way to support the WR.
