These small LED lights will be used
for my left and right turn indicators along with a high-beam light. They
are only 3/16" in diameter which is very small but are very bright for
there size. Let's get them installed and see how everything looks.

Last but not least, we have all the
lights for the gages. I cut and soldered them all together and then put
heat-shrink tubing on all the joints. I know it looks like just a bunch
of wires but it works great.

Here is what it looks like finished.
My speedometer and tachometer are 5" and all the others are 2
1/16" in diameter. I put the shift-light in the middle of the two
larger gages, up near the top so I could see it better. You'll have to
look close to see the indicator lights right below the speedo and tach.
I'm happy with how they came out and now I'm ready to install some
switches for the rest of my electrical stuff.

While I was in the wiring mode, I
needed to install a fan relay for my electric fan. If I were using a fan
that was driven off the water pump, then I wouldn't need one. This is
made by
Painless
like my wiring harness is and the two integrate together nicely if your
going to use an electric fan. Why a relay? A relay is used to take the
load off a switch that may not be rated for large amounts of amperage
(like electric fans can draw). This way you can use just about any style
of switch, big or small that you want and not short it out or fear that
it fail prematurely. The larger wire goes to the battery which is
connected to the relay. The smaller wire is an actuator wire, that goes
to your switch, that tells the relay to kick-in to give juice to your
fan. Painless recommends mounting it somewhere near the fan.
