my 1992 pontiac sunbird had slide controls like that but all my lights and such were push/pull switches on the dash.

So, my neighbors are gone and they have the only Engine Hoise in the neighborhood lol. But I ran wires for my new gauges, just need to pick a spot and I want your help!!! Oh by the way... the gauges are the Black Pro-Comp... not the White C2... oops lol.




Those three positions I'm almost positive that they will reach to when they are all hooked up. I might have more options when I get the engine in and see how much reach I have.


These are the bulbs for my Dash and new Gauges respectfully
I'm thinking of going pink with them... I'm not sure... I think the gauges I will probably do pink. There aren't as many of them lol.

I like the third spot. Mostly because I wouldn't want my knee on the edge of the plate if there was ever an accident. But I think it looks best and they're easy to see there too. Isn't that where the ashtray is?

The 194 bulbs should be easy enough. Does the one in the black socket pull out of there so that you can just plug another bulb into it?

lol - now I know what my finger nails would look like if I was a girl!

Yeah the ashtray is right there. But it is folded up because noone is allowed to smoke in my truck. The wire that is hanging out of it is to a Lighter Plug Splitter... Thingamagig. Instead of one I have three now. I'll probably mount it somewhere when I mount the gauges.

I forgot to mention before I hit return last time that you can see in that last picture that your head line and your heart line are miles apart - you make very sound decisions and although your heart line is deep, it doesn't rule your head.

I on the other hand have a simian line on my right hand. LOL If you don't know what that is, you should check it out. The odds of me being born without Down Syndrome were something like 1 in 10 million. Instead I got cursed with an IQ of 145++ (not bragging by anymeans, with my track record it's more of a shame really...lol)

To make up for it though my blood type is RH Negative - so I don't share that Rhesus monkey gene that a lot of people carry
