Good luck with it Pub. You will need a lot of patience and about a weekend of time. Hope to see some pics when done.

Looking for a new Commodore
I now have illumination on the instruments. It turned out the black and grey wires that were joined on the vp dimmer plug needed to be joined. I presume I would use the other wires from the dimmer plug to attach to the vs light switch to get the dimmer working?

Thanks again for all your help markovr.

how about the dome switch on the headlight switch...does that work? Dimmer needs a external resistor to be installed some where but I never use mine so I reckon it isnt worth the trouble.

I think friction used his old cluster wiring and ecu and just put the dash pad out of a vs into his vp.
