Default headlights wont turn off after swap

well i just did my gte 5 speed swap, into my 89, and now for some reason my head lights will not go off, even when they go down. the runners and inside light will go off, just not the lights. i am also getting not tach reading. i belive i used a pre 89 engine wiring harness, but i did not touch the engine harness. i have no clue what is goin on.

anyone?

thank you

Default swap

not sure what you did with the lights, but your tac. will not work. you will have to replace the cluster or run an aftermarket one, you can get the signal from the little plug on the side of the diagnostic box

the difference is in the dash harness, you need to trace the black wire from the coil packs to where it meets the dash harness and see what color the wire switches to and run that wire to the tach

well the head lights are a ground switch, so you mush have pinched a wire or grounded 1 out wile doing the swap. first place to check would be by the battery. check for a frayed harness.
