Very nice write up. Do you by chance have the last 4 to 5 photos that didn't come up in the initial post?

Has anyone got an idea if the brown in the grey plug at the centre console could also be tapped into for some under dash led's rather than shelling out on the oem kit? Or is there a separate wire that anyone has used to add their own leds to?

They haven't told me yet. I ordered a few japanese exclusive items, its going to cost me 500 yen which is like $5 usd to consolidate the items, check them out, and ship in one box. The company company Tenso is estimating under $20.00

This says it's for an FK7. Is the harness and stuff the same between the two?

I noticed that as well, but I typed in the number that was the actual part # I'm guessing they either made a mistake in posting, or it fits both models. in the picture they show the current 10th gen door

seems like your US Amazon account doesnt work and we need to create a new AMAZON JP account?
Yes, create new account, you'll have to use a forwarding service like tenso or buyee, Amazon jp won't ship to the USA. You use a forwarding address and tenso or buyee will then accept the package and send it to you. I bought a few think had them consolidate for like 500 yen ($4) and paid like $18 for it to be shipped over here to the US.
