one resister
Sat Sep 8, 2007
So this is what one ballist resistor looks like.Nice clean wire job also. This is as close to a plug and play installation as it comes
No turning back
Tue Sep 4, 2007
Well wish me luck because theres no turning back now. Stay tuned in the next few days I'll run the back harness. Thats the great thing about this wire kit it comes packaged in sections.
What have I done

Well this is what it looks like when you pull all the wires out of your car.
Rear wires

This is a shot looking up at the tail light wires.Remember before you get under there and start tugging put on some safety glasses
Something old something new
Tue Sep 4, 2007
Here's the new tail light wires setting next to the old ones. To get to them to unplug them from the housing you go from under the car. Just pull off the old rubber and twist like you would a bulb.
rear body wires
Tue Sep 4, 2007
The rear body wires run up the drivers side kick panel under the door sill to the back.After you pull up the sill there's a cover that unscrews to get to the wires.Then it runs under the rear seat to the trunk as pictured.
ballast resistor #3
Tue Sep 4, 2007
Wait there's one hidden under the dash. With my new American auto wire harness I will have one ballast resistor going from power to coil.
Rats nest
Tue Sep 4, 2007
The only thing this rats nest is missing is the rat.50 year old wires behind the dash. No wonder none of my lights or gauges worked. What a mess.
5 circuits
Tue Sep 4, 2007
This is what the stock fuse block looks like. Maybe it's time for an update. With running an electric fuel pump,electric cooling fan,and stereo I'm just asking for a fire.
