Re: Dash light my dashlight is tore apart does anybody know where i can get picture to put it back together.

Re: Dash light The early type base wasn't really made to be taken apart since a little metal bent tab has to be straitened to disassemble. If the tab breaks off then the housing is done. The outer cover was made to be removable for bulb replacement.
Find an old GE miniature bulb catalog and you can get all the numbers for replacements of same design bulbs. Edison Mazda/GE designed all the most common bulbs and continued to manufacture them for years. Each design bulb has a reference code so a person can tell whether it fits or not. They came in various voltages and candle powers |

Re: Dash light I think I'd try finding a way to eliminate the tab first. If it can be disassembled then it would be easier to maintain it.

Re: Dash light on another note within this thread, I need to replace my entire lamp assembly. The normal suppliers state Out of Stock, any source for a replacement?
|
Re: Dash light Recently, I was lucky enough to find a repairable used one on flea-pay. I used a reproduction socket pigtail for a 28/29 headlamp to replace the damaged pig tail. The new reproductions have been out of stock for a long time with no guarantee of further replacements.

Re: Dash light Several comments about using an LED Bulb for the Dash Light BUT no one has offered the type or number ! Can someone help ?
I also like attaching it to the ignition switch! |

If I get out to the car today I will check. I don't know if it will help you tho. My car is 12v. If it helps at all, the dash light takes the same bulb as the cowl and dome lights. |
Re: Dash light Cape Codder, I believe this is the LED I used in my dash light. https://www.superbrightleds.com/led-...volts-12V~ACDC
I see it comes in 6v but only available in the 32° version. I think it should work fine, they are pretty bright. I have the 12v, warm white, 90° version in my '30 Town Sedan. |
Re: Dash light Y-Blockhead - Thanks for the Info for the LED Bulb! Has to be better than what ORIGINAL gives me.

Re: Dash light I put an amber LED in my coupe, it was perfect, Plenty of light without being too bright and had kind of a natural color. It was a bulb from my cowl lights.
It did burn out and I haven't replaced it though. 6V car. |

Re: Dash light If I wasn't a "purist", I'd add a separate switch for the dash light. Maybe just a small toggle on the bottom of the dash. Has anyone done that before? Seems to be a great fix to alleviate any hot covers and avoids the reliance on the spring to pop in and out.

Re: Dash light I really like nkaminar's idea a LOT ! That's not to say I would E V E R forget to turn it OFF !
