This info is for a 36 coupe.
Where are the two dash lights that are shown on the electrical diagram ?
The diagram shows the two wire harness goes from the dash light switch to some where near the instrument cluster under the dash... but I cannot seem to find where they go ..ARE THE BULBS IN THE GAUGES ?

The light bulbs and sockets are slip fit onto metal tabs on the upper two sides of the speedometer. They can be pulled off the tabs and could be missing. The blubs do not go into the speedometer.

Here's a photo of the speedo with tabs and one light socket.

Should be similar to this.
Well I was a little slow on the draw!

Thanks guys....
it appears that the tabs that hold the bulb & socket have been cut off. The flat tab is still there so I will make something to fit....the pic`s helped a lot

I believe the bulb holders slid on the flat tabs

MAC has them, 48-13710, $12.95. I just ordered a set, should be here Friday.

Does your switch work? I, very carefully took mine apart and cleaned it with fine sand paper. There is a loose metal bracket inside, it supposed to be loose and fits against the other arm. The speedo lights are ON when the switch is pushed in, OFF when pulled out. Seems that is all this switch controls.
