Installed my Ignited Illuminated Pushbutton Ignition <phew, wipes brow>
Spent the latter half of yesterday researching and finally worked up the ***** to do it last night. I installed the button just between my cruise control and power mirror controls. I had to do some dremeling to make it fit.
Wiring was pretty simple, but I really looked hard to determine which wires to tap into because I didn't wanna blow anything...I need this car to go to work! So after some (OK, a lot of) help from my BC friend Kaostik, I wired 'er up (found a decent ground, a 12V Ignition on source for both the button and the light, and the starter wire, put the key in, turned it to on, and hit the button.

Then I remembered that I still have to put the clutch down. Sooooooo...... down with the clutch and hit the button again.

Now I'm gonna replace that bulb with a bright LED one.

18AWG wire (ground)
12AWG wire (power and ignition)
elec tape
heat shrink
wire cutters
wire strippers
med-size philips screwdriver
#10 socket (may need extension, it's tight under the steering column)
Dremel and krazy glue (depending where you mount)
