Thanks RTD, I did call AAW and asked about the harness and they recommended this one

But I asked if the light bulb for the shift indicator would be retrofitted from the old one I have to that one and he was not sure. I sent pics of what I have as an example but I don't know if it will work or not..haven't heard back yet.

It looks like I just need to add the grey wire like mine has..only with a better wire and reuse the metal housing. Should work I think.
