    Devil or anybody that has the RMD dash what did you use for a headlight switch and how did you wire to the factory harness?

    Sorry about the delay. 

    I have no idea on the Rocky Mountain dash, sorry.  Mine was just using the original setup.

    Here's my contribution to the idea bag... 

    I used Autometer Cobalt Speedo, Autometer digital tach w/shift light, and ProSport Oil P, Water T, and Volts digital gages.  Sticking to the blue/white theme as my car is B5 with white vinyl top...  white interior..  Also incorporated the BlueToof microphone for the Alpine Head unit... 

    Fuel Level and Trans Temp mounted under dash also Autometer Cobalts..

    I kept ALL of the stock pieces for keeping/storage as well and bought these dash plastic parts on eBay.  My original stuff was way too nice to modify and if I ever sell they can go with the car....

    He used 5inch for the tach and speedo and 2 5/8 for the smaller ones.

    Rebuilt, refaced stock rallye gauges, 3M carbon fiber vinyl, some creative masking, and "stainless steel" spray paint:  Voila!

    Been meaning to post a few pics on my dash progress. I wasnt happy with the way Rocky mountain made the switch panel area.....there was no way of making it look good . The switches all stuck out way too far and just looked terrible...so I chopped up some 2" quarter inch alumn square tube and cut it the proper angle and tacked in down. This was of course after many tedious measurements to ensure the switch protruded out the proper amount. So I could now mount the switches and they look much nicer this way. I had to swap the dimmer and wiper switch around for clearance issues on the backside.
    Now...Im Just waiting for my new wiper switch to show up in the mail to complete the switch panel area...
    Other mods I made were machining a recessed bezel for the switch label (which i will make once painted), and heater controller slots/mounting brackets for heater and a little light slot to illuminate the heater panel.
