    How did you get to the top row of switches without removing lower dash?

    run the wires up your dash and through the hole where you removed your blank. you'll find it easier if you remove the coin tray from the dash.

    Yeah, I did the same thing, couldn't stand the shaking. Went back with the 1 1/2 and remade my bracket. It did take out "most" of the shake, there is still a little over the rough stuff. I can live with the amount of vibes I now get.

    Well I can't even reach the upper row. Where the two halves of dash meet there's like a block there? If you know what I"m getting at.

    Just feed the wires up and around that "block" and then grab the wires with some needle nose through the front of the blank.

    are you upgrading them to HID?
    if so you will have to remove the metal "cross" inside the lights to fit the new bulb.
