Nice engine, but somehow I don't think it came from a 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Go to Jeff Bowlsby's website heeps of info on there,thanks to Jeff his wiring diagrams have been a huge help to me.
There are 2 types of switches early and late,from memory one has 10pins and the other 11,good luck.

You will need to use the FWSM schematics to get the wiring straight. Each model year is different.

FWSM - Factory Workshop Service Manual
There used to be the factory diagrams on the Pelican Part website but then the links were broken, not sure if they got fixed. What year is your car?

You can always go back to your original post and edit it, look at the bottom right corner of the post for the "Edit" button.

Internet Archive, AKA The Wayback Machine

Find the dead link on Pelican's site, then open it from a couple of years ago on the Wayback machine.

Jeff to the rescue,well done ,I bypassed the dimmer control as I have had two fail,it not like you would use it as on maximum it's not great ,if you go to LED lamps you can't use it anyway,LED lamps are a good cheap upgrade and worth doing,cheers.
