Re: Dashboard wiring

I rewired my Series 23 sedan a few years ago. It was a monster job for an old guy and I would not like to do it again.
The latest tool that would be a big help is the small LED lights. I just bought a couple of them at Harbor freight and they work great under the dash. I wish they were available when I did my rewiring.

The things I really like are:
1. Bright light (there are a number of choices)
2. Small size
3. Does not get hot enough to burn you
4. A small magnet built in to help hold it in position
5. A small spot light on the tip if needed to light up a deep dark place (like the ignition switch wiring or the hidden screws attaching the dash).

If I was doing this job now I would give the lighting my highest priority. I would buy several different types. They are quite low cost.
