There are times when it just doesn't make sense to beat your head against the wall, when you can get a pro to do it!

5 hours and less than $150, yeah, I'd say this was one of these times. Still have another half a days work with the clean-up and organization, but the headache is gone.

One thing we did find, one of the 12 volt headlight sockets was wrongly wired. The ground wire, (black), was not at the top of the socket, but on one of the sides. In addition, the side we didn't think we would have to move, turned out to be on the wrong side of the socket. It's like the socket had been turned on it's side when it was assembled. Made for about 30 minutes of why the low/high beams weren't sync's after we found the ground wire issue. I guess the caution is, look your supplied items over well before making any permanent install.
