so you have to have white-bottom, prong style switches?

[spencers]

you gotta be shittin me kris. why not the ones on the left?

[hella 325]

so how do you do the one touch switch retrofit?

[UNHCLL]

One more thing I've never understood. Why, in that article, do you need e30 donor switches?

I figured all you have to do is get the e36 switches with the wire,
chop the e30 switch off the wiring harness,
and expose the wire left on the e30 side,
expose the wire on the e36 side,
solder them together,
and whalla?

Why would you need the e30 switches? Still can't understand that.

so incase you fuck it up, you can go back to stock.
something you know that works

Ah, I see, very true. I would also be able to solder the wires back on if I went back to stock as well.. It's just as easy, however not as permanent / genuine.

WRONG!!!



These switches are FAR greater than those ugly e30 switches! I chopped off the old e30 switches and soldered on the e36 switches. Went along just fine!

Just be sure to not get the wires mixed up when you wire them up. Fuses blow!! :P

so the non-prong style connectors worked?

[spencers]

Yes Sir Kruzen.

Yeah they're upside down. I don't give a flip! They work.

But the odd thing is.. They white arrow actually makes it go down, and the outlined arrow makes it go up. I may have wired it wrong or something. But honestly I don't care too much since they work just fine! I'm proud of the work.

Yes Sir Kruzen.

wehre'd you score the switches and harnesses from, just curious?
