Here is a picture of the switch and Wiper setup. I used electrical tape to hide the wiring from the wiper down the wiper arm. While you do not notice it from anywhere but close up (even driving it is hidden behind the wiper enough) I would like to find a neater cover for the arm. I tried heat shrink tubing but it would not wrap around the end of the arm. Any suggestions? Glueing up neoprene is a thought. It needs to be removable when the wiper needs replacement to access the electrical connectors at that point.
After using the switch for a few days now the brightness is actually OK. In bright sunlight you can tell when it is on which is a good thing. At night it helps light up the window switches and door lock as I prefer to drive with a fairly dim interior lighting on the gauges.
The wipers are a triple blade design and heating them up in these sub freezing temperatures (0-15 degrees) softens them up really well so they clean the windshield extremely well. I find myself turning them on for a minute or so before using the washer and they clean the windshield better on only one swipe than I have ever experienced before.
If you live in snowcountry BUY these NOW. You will not regret it. Best $80 I ever spent on a vehicle.
