Re: IML: The half-lit dome light

["Rob van der Es" <r.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is right Paul, I am still waiting for better weather to unwrap the
bundle.
I will send out some special prayers to the weahter Gods that it will be
dry this weekend to be able to check those wires of my 60 Imperial
(necessary content!).

Ofcourse I will keep you all updated about the progress I make (or not..),
it is also time then to replace that dirty backuplight switch that is
hiding behind the speedometer at the pushbutton array.
