    I do have the original harness, I get so lost looking at diagrams but mounting it to a board it smart! Thanks for that. You wouldnt happen to know if all circuits "head light, turn signals yaddah yaddah" have to be wired in or can I test part by part before I solder it all up?

    test by fuse systems as you go Main fuse and all it connects to headlight fuse ect.
    lights bulbs do not have to be installed as long as you test for voltage at the connectors, or ohm it out with continuity test
