An easy way to check without having to take out one of the existing bushing contacts in the blue contact strip is to look & see if there is a rectangular kinda shaped rise in the metal of the bushing contact or if they have more of a triangular shape. If it is triangular, then use the bushing contact like the other DIY states (same one used behind the Light Control Switch) or if it's the rectangular like shape, you need to get the bushing contact I found I needed.

In the pic below to see what I'm talking about...look at the metal section right under each number...see how these look more rectangular (more trapizoidal actually):

To everyone else, sorry again! I hope to have the rest of this install (Rear Section) completed today! I'm actually waiting for my wife to get home so I can start on it...she had to get her nails done

Thanks man i know what u mean now i am going to the stealer to get them all little things.
