Question for those using Painless 18-circuit universal:
Since I am pretty much electrically inept, if you use the Painless product, how do the old VW relays (for blinkers, etc) fit into the equation? I have a 1972 super and most of it (wiring wise) will be to the stock items. Thanks

Both Painless and Watsons have fuse boxes with turn signal relays and flashers built in, so they replace the VW ones. Other switches and relays are kept. If you want custom install with modern fuse box, go with kit like these. If you want to replace old wires without redesigning the wiring scheme, go with a replacement harness.

I used the Watson street works setup.... very easy to install. great looking too. I did mine over 4 days working on it about 3 hours each day.
Had no problems and everything was there. I am a computer geek and did it, so it can be done by anyone. I am very glad that I did the upgrade.

I too used the watsons kit on my old ragtop - a few pics can be found here:

Chop a good one out of an old car. The original wiring loom is very hard to beat in terms of quality and functionality..
