Jewel Dash Light
Any one have experience with using the Jewel Dash light? I was thinking about putting it on my sedan but it appears to be missing the part that goes into the dash light socket. I'm guessing they sold these with various adapters to fit which ever model car you were driving.

Re: Jewel Dash Light
John, if you're lucky all you have to do is remove the original cap, loosen the set screw on the jeweled cap and push into place. That said, it's a close tolerance fit - I just tried 2 different caps - one went on easily with the set screw loosened while with the other there's no way it would go until I removed the set screw and used a screwdriver to gently pry apart in the slot while pushing the cap on. Good luck.

Re: Jewel Dash Light
It appears you are attaching it to the base of the dash light, correct? That won't let you push it and twist it to turn the light on like the standard cover does. The ad for the dash light says it is for "most" cars so there must have been some piece that allows it to fit various sockets. Have you had it in a car working?

Re: Jewel Dash Light
Mine has it's own base which sticks out a bit more than the normal light. The contacts need to be cleaned, but otherwise it is another conversation piece.

Re: Jewel Dash Light
Greatly over rated. I removed mine. The light to the dash is significantly less. Wayne

Re: Jewel Dash Light
Thanks for the input, it looks like there was either another piece that I'm missing or need to make to work. I guess you replaced the whole light rather than just the cover on some while others might fit according to the instructions.
