Yeah man... The inverters require power and ground to function. You can route ground from any good bolt connected to the body, to the inverters and that's 1/2 of the battle. The other 1/2 is a bit more complicated though.

The power has to come from somewhere. Start the power at the cigarette lighter, then route that to a fuse, then to the switch. Ground the switch so that you have your illumination(not required). From the switch the power then needs to go to each inverter.

Does that make it sound easier?

It done! Ha ha. Feel's so good when you flick a switch and everything work's your first time trying something. Last night I finished the drivers side in 3 hours, today I did the passengers side in 1 hour and cleaned up all the connections. I ground in the two really visible bolts with o rings by the way. The bolt are like right on the side of the bottom of the shifter. Both sides of the dash wiring route up through the center console and into the arm rest to a illuminated LED and I think it looks pretty sick. Here's a pic of just the drivers side but you can see the brightness...Just have to be real careful with these cathodes. I broke one like 30 minutes ago trying to just jam in in the passangers side for now. Barley pushed it against the heater on the passenger's side and it snapped. It was at it's weakest point, right in the middle but yeah, you gotta be gentle. So everything is done except mounting the passangers side and I'm gonna pick up some double sided tape tomorrow for that. Used zip ties on the drivers side. I'm so happy. Next week I gotta open the dash up again...(which I don't like doing cause it will eventually become loose but have to do it I guess)...and then I'm hookin up the door pocket cathodes which should be interesting.
