nice job cale... i really want one of those (that stupid clip just pisses me off ) post some picks when you get around to wiring it?

 

sounds good and i just saw one sell on ebay for 40 yesterday i was kinda pissed cuz i paid 55 but oh well...i got wire after class and i'm trying to make sure i have everything i need before i start the wiring. i didn't realize you can just unbolt the clip and throw in the computer because i thought i was screwed at first because the 99 console comes down farther and i would have had to cut up my headliner

 

Did this one just go right in the way the old one came out ?

 

yeah there are like 6 t-10 screws that hold the computer and lights in or the clip and i just swapped the computer from the other one into mine because the moldings were different

 

Oh easy enough, now if the wiring isn't that painful, I'll probably do one myself.

 

Thats awesome. Yeah, let us now how the wiring is. On my Dakota I actually took a rear view mirror out of a suburban that had the temperature and compass on it and wired it in. It works, but if this isn't too painful, i would love to install an overhead one in mine instead.

 

from what i've been reading and see on my truck it shouldn't be too bad just stuff in annoying spots that are hard to get too that will make it frustrating lol

 

looking good doood. yeah im gonna install my overhead in the spring. gotta mount the mounting plat. then cut my headliner. il do a write up for anybody interested.

 

thats why i HATE wiring ****

 

woo new pictures got the wiring harness all made up. the yellow, pink and black wire are spliced into the old overhead lights so they don't need to be run down to the fuse box just cut the old connector off and wire them in. most annoying part was twisting the black wires by hand without a drill. they need to be twisted so that the mpg info stuff works right. put little tags as to which wire is which on the bottom just in case anyone was wondering how i was going to tell between 4 red wires lol. enjoy idk when i'll get it in the truck but possibly this weekend if im not to busy seeing as the girl and me are on a break right now and i have a hockey tourny all day sunday.
