Just ordered from Summit Racing:

2 x Bosch 417A (Icon)
1 x Bosch 40811 (Hindsight)

SR was the only vendor I could find that had both tho Icon and Hindsight in stock (only wanted to pay shipping once). Total with Shipping to So Cal (no tax) was $58.80. Seems a little steep for 3 wiper blades, but WTF, I drive a Hummer, I'm used to that. :) I should have them in a couple/3 days. Shipping from Reno. I will report back. Hope it's still raining by then!

Will do...a pic of the switch is the easy part....finding the heating unit under the hood...well...that might not be as easy but I'll do my best for ya. LOL...my wife would shoot me if I posted naked pics of her...not that I have any of course...LOL

LOL...no worries...even the old jokes are funny!

I put the pics of the switch and the underhood installation on that other thread for you. Hope this helps you out. The underhood looks like a simple bracket, the switch on the interior on the other hand does look so simple.

Also, I dont know how the aftermarket works, but if it works like the stock one in the 08 it powers up for about 30 to 45 seconds then sprays the windshield and activates the wipers. It runs that cycle for 3 or 4 times i believe.

Saw them. Excellent! Thanks, Mike.
For everyone, I think Bosch changed their best wiper blade name from Icon to Aero-Twin. They look identical, I think it's just a name change. Just installed them and now started raining here in So Cal, so I'll try them out tomorrow! Field report to follow. Yes, I am excited about new wiper blades. So sue me.

I just put the Bosch Icons on my 08 for the winter, those open frame stockers suck in the snow!
