I know this is a dumb question, but I searched and couldn't find it...anyone know which wires on the headlight switch I should use to light my gauges? thanks...

go to the dimmer switch so that they adjust with the dash lights. I went to the headlight switch at first but ended up changing that in the end.

just use a test light to determine which wire you want. on the headlight switch it will be any one that show +12v when the parking lights are on. and for the dimmer find the one that changes with the switch.
 
Welp, it's all done...only nagging problems are that now my fan only blows out of the defrost vents no matter what the setting (I figure it's a vacuum leak somewhere) and I can't seem to be able to download some much needed software from SCT...care to give me hand Doug with the computer problem?

Other than that, car runs strong and just needs some minor adjustments to the tune...

Some pictures...

Wow!

I just realized how many idea's I've got from your car... Placement of the contour.org sticker under the hood and I'm about to paint my calipers gold, something I really liked on your car. So... following the trend... I guess that means turbo is next :laugh:
 
Watch that vac line by the EGR, ive melted too many hoses on that badboy.
 
Man...your car is very very nice. I wish that my car could ever be as sweet as that. I need to win the lottery...hahaha.
