Lucky8 have the switch panel, and there are also instructions on their website. I was a bit leery of removing the interior trim panels but they all popped off or unscrewed easily. It turned out to be quire easy. Just check their instructions they are super useful.
If you look on the left side of where the lights are installed there's a vent tunnel which runs through to the wheel well. The cables can go through that vent, then around and up into the engine bay. I thought this was a reasonable solution, as I didn't have to drill/cut big holes or run the cables by the radiator.
I used the custom plates for two reasons; 1- I didn't want to remove the bumper and fiddling with nuts underneath the sill with the bumper installed didn't sound like fun to me. 2- that plastic is pretty thin, and I didn't consider it a very solid platform for lights, so I just make clearance holes in that, slid the plates under the sill and attached the lights - super easy and stiff.

Thanks for that.
As for the cable routing, I was really asking how you routed them into the cabin. Or did you?
Cheers

From inside the vehicle, underneath the steering wheel, pop off the trim panel and you’ll see the other side of that rubber area.
There are pictures in the thread. You just slit the rubber and thread the wires through.
