Howdy, folks!
Well I bit the bullet and purchased a new wiring harness from Steve and figured since I'll have my car in the shop to solve the mystery as to why she just stopped running and won't start, I may as well ask them to install it for me. As much as I'd love to do it myself, there truly aren't enough hours in the day.
My question is this: Should I ask them to do anything specific outside of the basic install? My biggest concern is brake light visibility since SoCal drivers are some of the worst. That and sometimes at a red light the voltage dips pretty drastically so I have to keep it revved. Also with the lights on one light is dimmer than the other but when the brake pedal is pressed it's brighter than the other so I'm sure that will be addressed. I've read about flipping the boards to make the top light the brake light but I think I'd be in favor of just wiring both bulbs together to work in tandem.
I also plan on getting a mechanical brake light switch because no matter what I do the brake lights stay on until I lift the pedal with my toes. My apologies for the long-winded post; I'm worn out just typing this monster!
Any and all info/suggestions/personal experience/hate mail welcome!
Thank you,
Matt
