I am reassembling my 69 Dart dashboard and just reinstalled the main wiring harness. While doing so, I wanted to add an auxiliary light harness. All of the various facets of the auxiliary harness fall into place with the exception of the ignition key light. I pulled the auxiliary light harness I have off of a 1968 Dart dash harness so I assumed all would be the same when adding it to a 69 harness. However, the thin metal bezel that the light is attached to won't fit over the ignition switch. The ignition switch is about 1 1/8" in diameter and the hole in the bezel is just under an inch. Were 1968 ignition switches smaller in diameter than 69? The 68 dash harness I took the aux. harness from did not have the ignition switch with it so I can't compare it to my 69 switch. I would think they would have been the same.

The '69 Dart ignition switch is larger than a '68.

Anyone have a picture of a 68?

'68, a good bit smaller.

Thanks for the info. and picture. I guess I will have to look for a 69 key light and bezel.
