Lol, yea, thanks buddy...not bonafide until she is legally registered. Hopefully this week, but I only have a 1 day window, as I am in meetings today and out of town Thursday and Friday.
i had no passenger seat in the car during the test runs, so she couldn’t get me driving..::she won’t ride until it’s tagged...she doesn’t have the criminal fortitude.

They fit perfectly, although a little snug. I did have to Dremel the inner housing slightly, as the wiring plug on the back of the light was In a position to be cut by the housing. I’ll send you the eBay link tonight, if you want. The light output is awesome, and they have hi and lo.
brakes? Feh, who needs em!?
(for real tho’, I want brakes)

I will say, with all the wiring I did for the amp, subwoofer, backup camera, stereo, speakers, etc..it all worked flawlessly the first try. I was extremely proud of myself...then I realized that I ran a hot from the battery to this little outlet/ voltmeter panel, and it stays lit continuously. Can you say slow drain..?
i will be adding a switch....oh well.

Don't bother with a switch. Just get a fuse diagram and find an unused fuse position that has switched power and run a wire (connections to the back of the fuse panel are basic spade terminals) to your gauge.
It will get you an already fused switched power connection and get you a super clean install. When running the wire to your gauge, just follow the wiring harness from the center console to in front of the passenger seat and follow it until it goes under the quarter panel. Then run it across to your gauge.
Easy, stealthy, and you won't have to cut any factory wires.
I did this for my 81 when I needed a switched power for the stereo system I installed.

I really appreciate the input bro!
I have a switched wire running through the rear seat delete. I want the outlet to be hot at times, so I can charge a phone without powering up anything in the car. I just didn’t think about the voltmeter staying lit. A switch seems to be the best choice.
