    what are these wires for?

    thanks. the reverse light does indeed come thru at the shifter. so that leaves two pigtails on the firewall the grey plug with the red/grey wires are for the neutral safety switch, the other must be a redundant reverse for stick shifts. cool thanks again.

    How much $$$ for a decent soundsystem?

    good wires and some dynomax should be on your list too. i placed a head in the glove box and it only gets turned on when its parked:D i cruise with the windows down and dont really need more noise coming from speakers, if your running a/c you may get some more use out of it than i do.
