No, but the person asking the question could reach out to the user in Florida who has installed the kit and possibly get his questions answered ?
Ever think of that ? I doubt you did.
I did the same but I used carriage bolts in various sizes to plug up holes in the body and cab.
Don't have to worry about them popping out due to flex and vibration and when painted look like a factory rivet.
If your talking headlights I went with a 24volt Truck-Lite "spotlight" and used them as headlights.
Work super well and were a 1/4 of what a dual beam "headlight" costs..
It's a male electrical plug that is wired to my two battery tenders to keep the batteries alive, block heater, and oil pan heater. Just plug in a extension cord and bam !
I have the block and oil pan heater on a separate switch so they aren't on during the warmer weather while the truck is...
Finished up the on board air system on my M998. Got a complete kit from the guys over at Air Horns of Texas dot com (great dudes). Vair 24Volt compressor, aluminum 10 gallon tank, Freightliner air horn with 150psi switch, etc. Mounted the compressor under the hood and wired it to constant power...

Look into the hot rod world for "custom" shift knobs.
Tons of good ideas that if you have a drill press and tap around can easily be adapted to a Humvee..
A buddy of mine who works at a high end car stereo / detail / etc place here in IL is looking into this for me.
Seems as easy as picking up a system designed for a 12volt diesel pickup application and using a 24/12 convertor.
We shall see once he digs into my truck...
Random pictures I found online:
Obviously each setup is different in size of turbo, number of turbos, size of inlet/discharge tubing, turbo placement, etc.
With the amount of room with the stock muffler gives up once removed I cant see this being a issue on a Humvee. We will find out come this...
