    you definitely can make it work...the headlight knob in 90-91s are one piece with the shaft attached, but I found out after getting this one out of the Merc that it just pops off of the shaft, a dab of JB weld would probably do wonders

      I am more concerned about the shape. I may try scuffing and spraying some fake chrome paint on an original one first and see how it looks. I have some lying around since before I was born lol. I am willing to give it a shot.

        Wow, I forgot about those amp switches. My first marquis had one and I don't think I've seen one since.

        That vehicle monitoring board is interesting, I'm curious to see how it turns out.

          I probably wont do it because it would be a wiring nightmare...

                    Amp pull switch

                    Picked up an amp pull switch from an 84 mustang. The switch looks great and functions as it should! This has a red indicator light and the pull knob is black and chrome which will match everything perfectly.







                    I am just curious how this think functioned originally as the positive lead of the light was connected to one of the switch terminals......

                      Pardon my ignorance, but what is an "amp pull" switch? Other than "see above."

                        On premium sound equipped panthers (84? and older) it was used to give an estimated 15 extra watts to the system. It triggered the premium sound amplifier. I currently use a toggle switch to turn on my aftermarket amp (I like to be able to control when the amp comes on and off because I have other speakers attached to the headunit) and will replace the toggle switch with this nifty period correct piece.

                            "Cop switch" for a subwoofer????

                            Hi,
                            being from good old Germany-where things are quite different- I try to learn about your US things every day.

                            You guys over there must turn your sub off, when stopped by the cops?? I cant believe that ! Is it prohibited to have a sub in the car ?

                            OK, here it is against the law to have tinted driver and passenger windows: 400 USD fine +3 or 4 points.....
