    Right there right now. Stopped today at removing headlamp switch and wiper switch. Will pick up there in the morning. Just replaced all lamps, except the high beam indicator with the W5W bulbs and painted the interior of the cluster with Krylon Fusion White Gloss. Also bent all the tabs up on the bulb holders to make better contact. No burned out bulbs, but the center lamp that lights the gauges was intermittent along with the high beam indicator.

    Previous (first owner) had removed cluster once before to tighten the tabs up and also apparently removed the heat control panel because it was cracked AND all 4 posts were gone AND there was an extra straight slot screw holding it to the dash... LOL!

    Alas I ran out of time and off to work...

    Removing dash pad to get it recovered so I figured I would cover all my bases...since I was replacing the speedo cable after the muffler shop thought it was a good idea to lay it across my new H-pipe...:mad:

    Oh yeah, will attempt to install the intermittent wiper setup, too!
