on my truck the 15ft of wire worked great for my front and sides.

when it came to the rear, however, it didnt have enough wire!!

its not even all the way to the back too! so what should i do?? is there a extension cable or something??

Splice new wire in. Any 18 gauge hookup wire will work fine. Walmart has spools of it cheap. Don't get solid wire.

I'd suggest getting a 10ft piece of cat5 cable (network cable) at walmart. It's what the kits use (if it's flowlighting).

Its the FlowLighting Single Color kit, so you can buy an RJ45 female-female coupler and then use a standard cat5 wire to extend.

I Google Mapped it, and there's a Fry's Electronics 2.7 miles from your home that will certainly have the parts you need for under $15

Best of luck completing the install icon_cool.gif

When I routed my rear tube it was close and it is mounted just in front of the spare tire....run it up the frame rail and then you DONT need to go thru the firewall...If you look in the floor of the truck (remove the running board which just pops off and pull up carpet) you will see a couple rubber gromets that will fit the wire...this should save you a few feet.
