You can has the cord for free if you cover the freight, or my plane ticket. Either one. It's the moroso one, two wire I think. I saw it yesterday so I know I still have it lol Never used it.
Appreciate the offer, I think it's a complicated *** cord with several wires going to the radio. At least it looks complicated. Let me get with my radio guy and find out what the scoop is.

Try positioning your outer lights straight ahead, and using the inner lights for crossing. Spend the time getting them dialed in and you'll be fine. During a nite practice session, I literally pitted 6 laps in a row, adjusting the lights myself til I got them perfect (it was easier to do it that way then to try to yell to a teammate through my helmet which light to move - and where to move it)

Are you running a separate battery pack for your lights? hard to tell from the pic, but looks like you have batteries out there. You can wire them up to the factory lighting using the OEM connectors off the stock lights - so you can pop them off and on easily.

We have our radio button on the shifter. Button can be activated with your thumb.

I may have posted a pic already, but here it is, showing the switch on the e-brake.

Right. With the button on the shifter you can talk while changing gears. With it on the ebrake, you're somewhat limited on when you can talk (not that you can understand what anyone is saying anyway - at least I can't. )

We have 3x5 $1 LCD , I see many folks with the "crossed headlights". Think this works well. It is chump car and corner lights may get shaved off.

Also for what it's worth, we have radio button on the steering wheel. Wouldn't want it elsewhere. Both hands on the wheel.
