How to wire a VW dune buggy speedometer.

Basic rundown of 50-79 VW beetle speedometers and how to wire in a dune buggy.

Your video made me very dizzy, maybe you should get a better camera. Otherwise great information. You were clear on connection's

The ones on the main metal body (lights/hibeam indicator) will ground on the housing using the one ground wire provided - that’s screwed into the speedo body. On a bug it’s mounted to a metal dash so it’s self grounding. The 3 on the bake lite housing ground at their destination… oil pressure light at engine, Alt/gen light at Alt/gen. The turn signal I like to use the 2 post isolated bulb housing and give it its own ground wire. On an old bug the turn indicator works through the vw flasher which is hard to get and getting expensive. I prefer a standard issue auto parts store 12v flasher and use a work around.

Do you make wiring harnesses ?

Great video. What bulbs are the ones for the turn indicator, and also what the best way to remove it. Do you simply pull on the cable? Thanks

Dont pull by the wire grasp the bulb socket with long needle nosed plyers and pull.

Where do those wires go after you plug them in the sockets, are they all going to grounds ??
