Here are the photos: http://wesandmaria.com/vanagon/harness.html While I was back there, I upgraded the idiot leds (alternator, oil) to brighter versions, and changed my clock to 24 hour mode using instructions I found posted by David Beierl a few years back. As Jarrett mentioned, the only downside I could imagine seeing in this is that dash lights are soldered to wires and so require a quick soldering to install / reinstall. But I expect the leds to last a long time so a I really don't mind this. I love that the whole thing is now a bundle of wires, easily serviced if it somehow got damaged.
