Default 33 Tudor dash light location

Where is the dash light located? I had the dash out to be wood grained and the cluster to be re-engine turned and didn’t see a bulb. Thanks.

Directly above the opening in the instrument panel for the speedometer.

Expanding on DavidG's post above


All the gauges get their light from fixtures and bulbs on the back of the dash insert, there is NO external light source. As you can see on the gas gauge, the opaque strip on the back of the housing of the gauge is where the light filters into the gauges and speedometer
