NON UPDATE UPDATE

So, I dealt with all the dash panel lights, except oddly enough the buttons (hazard, defroster, and A/C buttons have stopped illuminating, so I need to learn how to read a wiring diagram and trace that around.

I also replaced the glovebox (works very smoothly now, thank you), reinforced the busted corner of my center console thing with some fiberglass and two-part epoxy... painted the glovebox, center consule, e-brake thing and front/rear ashtrays with the eastwood plastic vinyl paint. That is the greatest stuff evah!

I got the OBC control stalk working... pretty exciting, although I actually ordered a new one from the dealer (don't ask how much) because this one was fine, but just a tad loose for my taste.

I also got the M3 tach/oil temp gauge in, but managed to mangle another 'instrument cluster dashboard support' thing. SUCKS! But, this weekend I will try to pull the wire for the oil temp thing, and deal with some other shit like...

- M-tech II steering wheel;
- Straigtening out the wiring behind the instrument cluster (friggin dash wire-tie broke);
- Wire the new C43 radio!!

Stuff that's waiting, pending parts:

- Mirror review light install (pita)
- bosch smiley headlights with HID kit
- friggin carpet cleaning

anyway... more more soon...
