Default routing guage lines

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resi...CDEA3597%21107


Now that I got this opened up, I need to route the temp, oil and voltage lines for the guages. I either need to replace my digital clock that light bulb is out or replace the bulb. How hard is it find that tiny bulb? Same wires for the digital work for the analog? That would be a major deciding factor.

I've had a pioneer head unit I wanted to install and now that dash is open, need to get that done. I need a cage to fit this unit and the small trim that goes at the bottom front of the opening. Need to match up the plugs from the new unit to the Rover wiring, that one shouldn't be too difficult, seen that posted somewhere on here.

And I might as well add 3 switches where the coin tray was. I need at least one for the front lights. I do want to install a light bar on the roof rack at some point too.

Here's the big question. Where is the best place to get through the firewall from the center dash?

Luckly I have a spare center dash unit on hand. I took the old one out the fast way!

Radio Shack has the bulbs I think.
Run the wires/lines through the firewall grommet on the drivers side. You'd be surprised how much will fit through there.

Glad it wasn't just me thinking that, I damn near just ripped it out. I was so frustrated at one point then pop, out it came.

Yes, I got the green bulb like others on the forum suggested and it rocks.
