Default Re: Workings of the Dash Light....

How do you read the gas gauge on the 28 - 29 with 12 volt bulb when I can not read it with a 6 volt bulb?

Dash light on 28 29 is located in different place from 30 31.

Just wondering ....

It gives a nice glow at night on the instruments, not too bright in your eyes while driving, and not so hot to touch. I could never leave the regular bulb on for long because I did not like the bright light in my eyes while driving. The dimmer 12 volt bulb running on only 6 volts is much better (once your eyes get used to it in the dark).

And no ER runs!
