Has anyone used this kit? How do you like it and what’s the quality? I know I can build this kit but time required vs cost it seems to be more cost effective to just purchase this kit.

Safety car lights ? I’ve seen them cheaper than this before

No entire light system. Turns, heads, tails, brake, and hazards.

That's a disgusting amount of money. I'm building an entire engine loom, I'm paying half that for a pigtail ECU loom, 6 relay fuse box, extra 12/16/20ga wiring, heat shrink, fibreglass conduit and braided sheath.

Yeah I know I can buy the parts individually and be around half the cost(around 250 plus the cost of the wire). The time involved in pinning, crimping, wiring the fuse and relay box, and building the sub harness is worth the difference in cost. It would take more than 2 hours to do all of that. Then I still have to buy or build the mounts and coat them as well.

Half the cost is going into the "pdm", which isn't a pdm, it's a micro fuse box.
If it makes sense for you then go for it, but I couldn't stomach that amount for something I could build myself.

I know what it is and what it isn’t. It’s a 8 circuit fuse and relay box. That one is around $110 and $125. $65 for the combo switch($125 wired with 8ft unterminated lead), $135 to buy the column mount, $45 for the fuse block mount, $15 for the LED flasher, and so on. I’ve already looked up individual cost. To make it cost effective I would have to be able to build and wire it all in less than a hour and that’s not happening. Cost wasn’t the question as I had already determined it was cost effective. Quantity of the work and wiring was.

Plus I am already building my entire harness for my FuelTech and 8hp70 wiring as it is. Simplifies and shortens wiring time.
