287 viewsWhatever plug you may have, simply push the connectors into the gap on the inward side of the light housing as this has a good gap to hold it out of the way.

Right side286 viewsThis is the side I started on and passed the harness through the hard cover as recommended by a shop that does the procedure. What a MAJOR pain in the butt! Ideally, it would be best to REMOVE the airbox in order to get enough space to maneuver around; a much bigger task than I cared to do after 3 hours of work involved already! I have long thin fingers and trying to get the bulb in the socket, as well as the gasket into the hard cover, was quite difficult. Anyone with thicker and/or shorter fingers would likely have an even more difficult time as the space is just too cramped around that area.

286 viewsSheet of plywood with carpet glued to it removed. Exposed are additional plywood pieces that everything is screwed into. Note that these pieces of plywood are screwed to the Bus floor. I really don't think it's necessary but luckily only a couple screws were used.

283 viewsThe female part of the sliding switch for the high/low beam switch. The long pad is the common power and the right pad is low beam, the left pad is high beam (as pictured here).

282 viewsWhat the interior looks like. I set the mirror so it was centered in the housing. I started at the 11 o'clock position and worked my way anti-clockwise (aka counter-clockwise), gently prying the mirror clips away from the ring mount.
|
|
282 viewsMeh. Fuzzy picture of the mirror out and the plastic (nylon?) upholstery pry bar tool I used to remove the mirror. Came in a $5 kit from Harbor Freight. Since the mirror was cracked I could've used a steel clawed hammer to remove it.

281 viewsAll wood removed, exposing the bare Bus floor. Thank goodness rust was very, very minimal!
