I now have a Charging Outlet!

OK, so I was jealous that my 06 didn't have a charging outlet...so I set out to rectify the problem... I went to my local Genuine dealer and picked up an OEM Outlet, then bought some wire, terminals, wire ties, and a fuse holder... The part that took the longest was going to the hardware store and getting a hole saw....Of course they didn't have the one I need (1-1/8") all they had was a 1" and a 1-1/4"..I didn't want to risk the 1-1/4 since it would be pretty darn close to the lip of the outlet, so I got the 1" and did some fine trimming by hand... All done and it works perfectly... I doubt that if you didn't know, you would never Know it was not installed at the factory...even though it isn't remotely a hard job.. Now with my Outlet, my new LED tail light, and my Halogen headlight bulb, I'm ready to roll... Just thought I would share....

Nicely done.
But, you have a little more to do. Take all those stickers off the inside of the leg shield and the back of the headset!
Then, you are indeed ready to roll.

LOL, thanks guys.... I usually do take all the stickers off of stuff, but for some reason, I haven't done it here Obviously.....They've been on there for 7 years now, I think Buddy may go into "withdrawls" if I remove them, LOL

Not to mention a visit from the "mattress police".

LED tail light? How did you work that? Is it posted here somewhere - we just picked up a 2006 and would like to do that as well.
Thanks and kudos on the other - did not even notice it was missing.
