Dash Pullin' Day

I just want to say that whoever said pulling the dash to get to the lights for the speedometer and such was a pain in the @$$ was not lying! My b/f started looking at it and thought that the 3 screws you see from the front were going to be the only ones to take out..(so did I actually). Man were we WRONG!! But, we got it done finally, and it feels good to actually be able to see the tach at night! LOL

It went along pretty quick considering....about 45 minutes. Then he fixed my cigarette lighter which hadn't been working for about 6 months now, and put the blue headlights in. It was a pretty good afternoon job.

Well, the blue lights are in the headlights, not the dash.
