Some mods upcoming:
- Other instrument cluster with warning light for low beam, heated rear window and ATF temperature
- Brake circuit warning light (will use ATF temp light for this)
Next job is to change the brake light switches from 2-pin to 3-pin versions and I'll be doing that on friday.
Will also add a nice rubber 'hat' to cover the connectors.
