not much install writeup needed guys...just solder the leads onto the back of the opener switch and drill 2 holes in the case and viola'

popeyes was good...and the feathers came from my prom date's garter...its my good luck charm in the car

i thought about hard wiring it, but i dont wanna dick with more wires and having to resist the 12v down to 1.5v.
