lol, ok :)

These are them, Ive actually had them for over a year, but it just occurred to me that it was a great spot to put them.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-120cm-Flexible-Under-Car-60-LED-Strip-Lights-Z-/190655389755?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c63f2603b#ht_3314wt_1396

I went to the local wrecking yard and pulled a VW wiring harness out of a badly abused new beetle and picked out the correct'ish colors and ran wires up the trim to the headliner which I pulled partly down, that is where the front wiring meets the rear light wiring, so I tapped it into the rear light harness.

Im going to pull them and put them under the dash because I think they are too bright, but Ill probably order these to replace them.

Ill put them on the white part of the interior just above the panel.

I went in the garage and there was a space big enough to fit the Meanie into, so I seized the opportunity

Fixed my Instrument Custer... Well, sort of.

The new voltage regular did not work, so for S&G I decided to attach a jumper wire from a hot wire, to the input of the voltage regular and it works! Got a tach, got a gas gauge, temp gauge, a random light in the cluster which I have no clue what it is for. Matt and I are going to splice the hot wire from the cluster connection and run it up to the voltage regulator. I really wanted to take her to work tomorrow, but I know it'll be better once all the wires are soldered into place.

Matt and I... well mostly Matt worked on the instrument cluster today, found a break in the flexible circuit and tried fix it with a "Silver Pen". Was good till I noticed that the gas gauge and tach gauge weren't working... I also saw that there was smoke. We've given up on the cluster, ordered one off of Ebay. We... Matt spent too much time on this already. Have I mentioned how much I hate electronics?
