What do you both need to know? I just did mine.

the light blue are the left, dark blue is the right.

here is my wiring harness. Its not as bad as it looks. 1 connector for turn signals. the other for the guages.

Ok bare with me, first of all thanks foor the pic, second I see the dark blue wire but I dont see the light blue wire. Are the connectors from the dash or something you made, and how did you hook up the fuel sender to the level gauge.

nice info JB

i looked at my pic again. yeah you see non of the factory harness.

look at the guide jbrue posted.

if you would have posted something a week ago i could have done a step by step.

basicly what i did was take a 6 tail trailer harness and tied that into the cars harness. and then i made my guage harness. knowing ill be pulling it out. and soldering and doing all that is easier out of the car. and gave me slack that i needed.

i got some leds from radio shack. make sure you get 12 volt. those are the light and dark blue.

everything else liek the hot, lights, ground, fuel sender, was all tied into the cars main harness.

i threw in some extra grounds just in case. it never hurts.

PM me if you need any advice. either of you. If i for some reason pull it apart again ill take pics. the plug for the guages is easy to pull out of the plug and wire into.

Check out radio shack. the harness i used for the turn signals is just a hard drive power cable extender and the other is a trailer harness. I actually stocked up on a few for "future projects"
