I got the Universal Muscle Car 18 circuit Harness and while the instructions are pretty good so far there are a couple of things I have run into so far that I need help with.
1) First is the dash. I got a Covan dash with new Auto Meter gauges but I am wondering what to use now for my turn signal indicators and headlight bright indicator. Since the Covan dash doesnt have these built in what has everyone else used? I was thinking something like these:
Description: LED Mini Light Green - 12 volt mini indicator light with 6" wire leads for easy installation. Black bezel mounts into 5/16" hole. Green Color.
They also sell red and blue lights. I was going to order a couple of green ones for turn signals and the blue for the bright indicator.
2) I want to change out the floor mounted dimmer switch. I installed kick panels with speakers molded in and they block the dimmer switch so I would like to put something in the new dash. Has anyone used a different switch for their dimmer switch? Can I use just any on/off switch or does it have to be specific to a dimmer switch? This is the type of thing I would like to use if it would work:
3) Neutral Safety Switch - So the car was originally a column shift and the owner who switched to a floor shift left the wiring hooked to the column. I would like to wire it up properly since I am re-doing the wiring but I have no experience with how these switches work. How would I go about changing the switch from column shift over to the floor shift TH350? If it matters it has a B&M Ratchet shifter.
Anyone who can provide any help is greatly appreciated. This is my first wiring project and so I am learning as I go. Its a slow process as I am teaching myself as I install everything. I have the tail section done and am currently working on dash section as you can tell from my questions thus far. Engine section comes after you guys help me with the above
