    None better that Brother Slotts  http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=64880.msg773679#msg773679


     :iagree:  totally! He's done 3 out 4 of mine and I'm more than satisfied. As soon as I get a spare "Top Lift" he'll be doing that one too.

    Just got back from a short cruise around town lights all working good.I will have to get in touch with slotts for a switch. Easy to see his stuff is top notch I may need a dimmer as well not sure if it`s bad I`ll get the headlight switch first before I pronounce the dimmer dead.
    I did notice on my ride my temp gauge is working now, so buying the voltage limiter wasnt a waste of time for me! :bigsmile: Which leads me to believe I`ll be taking out my sending unit to get the fuel gauge working.

    I had an idea that worked out pretty good for jumping the dimmer switch I don`t know if anyone else tried this so I`m taking all the credit. Lol! I took a fuse the kind you find in modern cars gently bent the prongs to line up with the dimmer switch plug it fit in there perfectly. So now I have a jumper with circuit protection built in just in case anything decides to go wrong!

    SUCCESS!  :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

    Turns out after all that the headlight switch was bad and it only took 5 days to figure out! :faint:

    I ended up wrapping  some copper wire around the bottom 3 contacts of the switch to get the lights on. Even then the dome light didn`t come on so I pulled out the bulb to check it and when I was putting it back in my hand slipped and I shoved the bulb in hard and the light came on.  :bigsmile:

    All this was to get at my voltage limiter to get my fuel and temp gauges working and after putting in the new limiter from dashworks my gauges still don`t work!  :banghead: I`m gonna save this problem for another day. At least I get the peace of mind knowing I wont fry my gauges

    So now where can I find a new headlight switch?

    Member Slotts refurbishes them.  Excellent pieces.
