The big thing about this is it takes a huge load off the old OEM switches which
end up being in the path for all the lights.
For your cosmo you should think about
adding relays on your fuel pump, efan (if you have one), headlights, and ignition.
It will make a huge improvement in the performance of all those things and
save your ignition and headlight switches from an early death.
^Very true, current draw of the LEDs compared to the stock filament bulbs is much less, so all of your old stock switches, relays (if any) & wiring components in the circuit path get a break. Should be a big reliability improvement there, plus the LEDs themselves typically last longer than the bulbs they replace.

Looks good Tim, I'll have to try this on my FC!

BTW, can the rest of you guys see the pictures Tim apparently posted in post #2? I can see the pics he posted in #1; trying to figure out if this is a browser issue (using Firefox, haven't tried IE or Chrome yet).
