btw - I don't think I spent more than maybe $200 for the 3 sets of HID lights, and two sets of headlight housings, so no, I very happy with the cost of my modifications, thank you. and far as "need for attention as the go-to guy," I think you'll find that my posting history over the last 6...

Please show me at what point I "argued" with anything you stated. I merely posted the mods I performed on my car. I understand the implications of what I've done. I have a problem with your method of delivery - pretty much self-indulgent, condescending post after post is your MO. I'm not a...

looks great!

actually, the LED lights I'm using are far brighter than anything that ever would have come factory in 68. I think we'll be just fine. Thanks for your concern:thefinge:

sorry it took so long to post these - busy summer - this was the first time I took this thing out of storge since May. It's dirty, and they're cell phone pics but you get the idea. forgot to take closeup pics of them, but if you look right under the front valance, you can barely...

By Sunday - I promise:D Gotta work all week, and the Charger is in my storage space - gotta go get it.

Do you do Jeep gauges? I'm working on a 78 CJ7 and the whole thing need gone through. If you're familiar with it, it's a big speedo with small fuel and oil pressure gauges in it.

The headlight power is a different crcuit - it is fed by the headlight terminal on the switch - the parking lights are powered by a "switched" terminal, and the tails are powerd by their own terminal. If the tails and parking lights are jumped, it wont affect the heads because the heads are...

and LOL at this comment on a muscle car message board - you seriously think that all the cars on here with the performance mods they have falls in line with your philosophy? Maybe you should lecture everybody on here about the safety concerns of added horsepower and the litany of other mods...

I haven't posted here for a while - I meant to post pis a while ago. I'll get some up when i get home from work tonight.

yeah, yeah , yeah - we've heard your rant about this before old man. We get it - you don't like it.

funny - I said that same thing on page one.

exactly - that's what I wound up doing, but I did it right at the switch so you can't see it.

here are the wiring schematics for a 68 Dart. Take a look at the diagram of the headlight switch - it has 4 or 5 different terminals on the back - each powers a different set of lights - hazards, parking, turn signals, tail light, ground, etc. The terminal that powers the front parking lights...

guys - it's jumping to the tail light terminal on the back of the switch, NOT the headlight terminal - it does not affect the headlight function.

wouldn't make a difference - if it fit into the original harness, it's a 68 switch, and the parking lights turn off - the switch doesn't make a difference.

no true - look at the diagram I posted - the jumper doesn;t affect the headlight terminal, so the headlight function doesn't change. Basically, you tap into the tail light power because it's powered up in both "park" mode and "headlight on" mode. In addition, the switches are different for...

I'll get some pics this weekend. I also converted to HID heads as well. I ran it all through relays and I am using the starter relay stud as the main BUS to power everything - that way it doesn't all go through the headlight switch anymore. No more dimming lights, and as bright as the sun.

Here's a diagram. I circled the 2 terminals on the back of the headlight switch that you'd need to connect via a jumper wire. That should do it, and your turn signals will still work.

I actually converted my front parking/turn signal lights into HID running lights, so I had to do this mod in additon to mounting new turn signals (led signals hidden at the bottom of my valance), and modifying the original housings to accept the HID bulb. IMO, it looks pretty bad-*** driving...

You can make a jumper at the headlight switch - had to do that on my 68 Charger. Looka at a wiring schematic and find the terminal for the tail lights, and the terminal for the parking lights. The parking light terminal will be switched off when the headlights are turned on, but the tail...

I like R/T stuff, and have purchased several items from them, but their web site sucks.

cool - looking forward to seeing the process.

ditto that.

First, have you done any modifications to the stock harness with the upgraded ALT? if not, it would be wise to do - Redfish had an excellent suggestion to use the starter relay post as a distribution point to power some of your accesories. run the fans off a relay - possibly 2 relays if...

Are they the same exact thing? Sounds like the voltage regulator x2. There should only be one. Are the wires leading to it green and blue?

Have no clue based on you description, but here's the wiring schematic for your car - try to identify the wires/colors and it should give you a good idea of what it is you're looking at. http://www.mymopar.com/downloads/1976/76DartA.jpg http://www.mymopar.com/downloads/1976/76DartB.jpg

Yeah, it's the ignition light delay. Just keeps the little light above the key on for a little while so you can see it. If you had the doors open and the dome lights on for the whole time, that's why it was warm.

Thanks!
