Got mine yesterday, and took a brief look through the instructions. I'll probably do it tonight or tomorrow.
My only concern is that RR said that I could remove it and 'return to stock', but there are wire splices - don't those cut the wires? Granted I'm not an electrical engineer, but I presume they've gotta make the connection somehow. I'd really hate to cut into these wires under my dash.

RR, I just got looking at the instructions. Yes I take my time since
I got them about 1 month ago

I ordered a front set and a rear set.
Where are the instructions for the rear set?
All I see is instructions for the front ones.
and which are which, they are not marked.
Oh have not really opened the packages.
Hope to install the front ones..in a week or so , hey no rush

I still haven't gotten mine to work. I'd PM you, but I'm not sure what you'd be able to do. My camera is dead so I can't take any pictures. From what I can tell I'm tapped into the right wires, and I've tried to crush them down as much as I can with pliers and no dice...
And damn, I didn't realize how freakin hard it is to get up in there under the dash lol..

does the 8 come with standard foot well lights?
mine seems to have a single led kinda to the left (right behind the trunk button) and one on passenger seat.
