Looks like I can go universal on light switch and ignition right? Any tips I should know?
I've decided on the tan 5 inch quad dolphin gauges too. I was going to go with a more original look, but decided that if I'm gonna stare at them a whole lot, I want something a little more modernish to look at.
I don't think these come with built in lights for turn signals and headlights being on. Not sure I like that. Anyone recommend a good alternative but close to same price? Or good ideas to where to add the lights?
Lastly, photbucket has made to many pictures disappear. Search pulls up a lot of you have done diy wiper motor conversions. Anyone got a link to a thread that still has pics?

I've got three!
1. The generic light switch may not have a low and high beam peg to attach a wire. I had to run a wire from low beam to the "dimmer" switch then ran the low wire off one peg of the dimmer and high beam off the other. The dimmer switch was also a generic one.
2. Figure out how to mount the fuse box before running any wires. Only after I had run half my wires did I realize my fuse box was upside down and I couldn't get the wires routed cleanly
3. Oh one more for good measure. Buy a couple of packs of those wire terminators to cap off any unused circuits. Twice now I've blown fuse because I left an unused circuit coiled up under the dash and it touched metal just right....bzzzzzt
