Nice... what bars are those brettnbama?

And thank OP... had the same question... thinking of replacing stock x-bones bars with 14s of some kind... was just starting to wonder about the wiring.

I did the the complete opposite, I installed 12.5 wild ones and ordered +8's by mistake when I should have gone with +6's. I just sold the 8's.
