COOL but can you post and tell me which blue switch number goes to what e30 switch number thanks Franco

Well the pic thing does not work too well in such a tight spot....but here is the pin to color for the blue e36 base:

PIN 1 = BROWN 1
PIN 4 = BLACK
PIN 5 = GREEN / GRAY
PIN 6 = BROWN 2
PIN 3 = PURPLE

[franco90]

so if I understand this correct
e36 pins = e30 wires
PIN 1 = BROWN 1
PIN 4 = BLACK
PIN 5 = GREEN / GRAY
PIN 6 = BROWN 2
PIN 8 = PURPLE
