What have you installed on your car with the worst set of instructions?
I was installing my Innovate analog wideband gauge in an A-pillar pod today. I wasn't very impressed with the light kit that came with it. The bulb goes on a stalk (I think that's what it was for), but there isn't anything to help you decide that in the instructions. I hope it's right, because I have all the wires soldered in place already. I still have to pick up the lighting power source and an ignition power source. When I had the LM-1 installed the place that did the install didn't give me any manual for it and claimed there was none included. I downloaded a manual off their website, but there were no instructions for downloading the datalogged info (Rennlist came through on that). The wideband is great, but the instructions overall leave a lot to be desired. What have you installed in spite of less than ideal instructions?

Worst set of instructions had to be Autothority MAF. That unit is like $1600 bucks new and they had the nerve to send PHOTOCOPIED instructions that were copied so dark that you can not even read them.

Twin turbo mirror conversions that came from, at the time, Automotion. Wiring harness was completely wrong. Said screw it and took it in to have it done right.

Three Wheelin'
Full Weld in cage from Safety Devices before they went belly up. Came in a ripped open box with like 30 different unmarked pipes.
The instructions was a poorly copied sheet that had the individual bars numbered, with no corresponding number on the bars themselves. I think the DHL guys then pissed on the sheet to make sure you couldn't read it for spite too.
It all went in fine but it was like putting together a puzzle without a finished picture to go by....

Not on my Porsche, but replacing fuel injectors and all new 'under manifold' hoses on this beast without instructions nearly claimed my remaining sanity.
