just go to any electronics shop, and get the cheapest speaker wire - get 10m or so, and you'll have more than enough - shouldn't cost you more than a few dollars

1. Have you read the doco mentioned earlier? 2. What bulb holders and parts does it recommend you use? 3. What other prices have you got, and where are they from, and for what items? 4. What wreckers have you called, what prices are they quoting you, have you put to them what you want to do and what have they recommended? Let us know your answers, so we can help you.

THis is how I did mine, and I did it a few days ago.
I used the light above my igintion barrell, easy to access. You need to take your dash surround out. The doco on that can be found here: http://www.fordmods.com/forums/documents.php?doc=1 . Its about halfway down the page. Once dash is out, you need to fiigure out how to run the wire. Cut a length needed (include extra so it can maneourve over things). Do the same wires first. I went green/yellow wire under the steering column o the green/yellow wire in the bulb holder.Then I did black/blue in the same fashion. If you ever get electronics from another car, try to always get a bit of wiring as well, just to make it easier. Does that help? |
