Been searching for hours on this. When you did the swap how did you get the headlights/turnsignals to work? I know the chassis harness is seperate and all i get is the dash lights to come on, when i turn the lights on the turn signals light up and so does the bright light singal but niether work. ANy one have pictures? Car is an '88.
