After installing most of our new wiring harness (cloth covered w/blue piping) tonight we started to do the dash. I really like the way everything fits and the overall quality of the set-up….right up to the plastic bulb holders with separate ground wires. Does anybody else think these things are shamefully cheap? I ventured into the eagle nest of old wire, and looked at the original bulb holders, and they were nice metal units with a good spider to hold them firmly in place, apparently getting their ground through the dash. The plastic ones grip on the surround can best be described as shy and tentative. Unless someone can talk me out of it I’m going to cut off the plastic bulb holders, and rewire (old cracked) the original bulb holders, connecting them via wire nipples and the double female insolated connectors. Why would they do such a nice job and then use cheap plastic bulb holders, am I missing something? I know the new units use the baseless type bulbs, but I rather like the bayonet and screw base type. Enlighten us please.
