have fun on the cruise, be safe outthere... when you order the regular pins for the regular connectors, do you get the ones with 1 foot of wire already attached, or you get just the pins? I am using Digi-Key pins, they are like dime a dozen... lol... about 8-10 years ago i got a couple hundred of them, they still last me for projects from E34, to E39 to both of the E53s...

the legal rambling that i had was about the implication of removing the wires 10 and 12 from the X609 and thus "depriving" a potential future install of OE trailer hitch from properly passing rear fog info to the trailer - non-issue here at all... sometime i like bubbling aloud, as the sound of the words scares me back into sanity!!!! lol...

have a good trip man, i am sure when you come back, things will be waiting for in the mailbox!!
