I purchased from Mabett a abs, lighted, low profile hood protector. I really like the way it looks. My biggest complaint is the instructions have you connect it to a constant hot and I want it to come on and off with the other lights. Can anyone point me to where I need to go with the power to make this happen....any help is appreciated.....

I’d think you would tap the wire to a a source such as the parking lamp or side marker lights. Theoretically, this would turn the lights on when these lights turn on; I’m sure someone else on here has done this previously.

If you don't have any luck, I actually will be receiving this product in a couple days and be doing a full review with installation as well.

Looks great! I'd be interested to hear a long term report on it. I almost pulled the trigger on this during Prime Days for $20 less than it is now. Is the video of the guy installing it on his Maverick on the Amazon product page (https://www.amazon.com/vdp/00eeef58...B0DT43MDWW&ref=cm_sw_cp_r_ib_dt_JzK7v9gmYoXmn) not useful for wiring it up? Looks pretty comprehensive. When you say it's a constant hot, you mean as long as the key is on the lights are on?
