yes. dont feel stupid. it took a 30 minutes to fix. no biggy. solderd connections. heat shrink individually, then heat shrink the group.
installed like a charm. thanks again.

Lookin good!

But on your topic of rear window heater...

Why??

Does your rear window ever fog up from freezing down there?????

And wouldnt your T4 engine's heat heat it up anyways???

Sorry.... Just curious..

Installed 22mm Sway-A-Way torsion bars... (one bar required the evil "drill a hole and tap out )
Listened to JP Stein about his coil over suggestion, and redid those....
installed headlight mechanisms and motors...... new h4 housings are too thin.... and rattle in their housings... need to correct.....


im tired...

SAW torsion bars
