I've been following your thread Mike, I know Duncan is an electrician and would be able to help you the best. Hope you get it all "lit" up tomorrow! Got my harness I was telling you about, so looks like an upgrade to mine

Dam this itch, got it from some kitty next door,

Awesome! Here's to a smooth install for yours!
With all these lights we are going to be "Stormtroopin' " down every street!

GOT IT! What happened was the holes I drilled for the wires were not big enough and the metal portion of the plug-in was making contact with the tailgate on 4 of the lights. I re-drilled and now everything is great! And yes, I grounded the tailgate to the frame as well. Thank you so much to Duncan, Justin, Doug, and Roy! Please see my project thread under the Gen 8/9 forum for pics!
