Looks awesome!! I like the black pcm cover! I think you should of gotten black fuse box covers to match. Other than that it looks great!

That's a good idea. Would the bracket that came with it not work? Seems like it would do the same job (also an L bracket)

I did the red to balance the engine bay (optima red on right, fuse on left, both dealing with electrical...). I had planned on putting factory fuse panel stickers on them to really match the optima but the dealerships computers were down

Thanks... I used flood lamps from Kragen/Auto Zone/Pep Boys actually. They have that textured glass and black bezel that looks like it belongs on a 1969 car...

I just wired them in with a foglight wiring kit (comes with wires, relay and switch) but used a factory foglight switch for activation
