Warning Light Bulbs

Post by Porky Scratchings »

I'm having trouble seeing the Indicator Repeater and High Beam warning lights in the Rev Counter. Anyone got a note of the bulb type and wattage. I think mine are 1.2W so if that's standard can they be upped to say 2W?

Cheers guys - Peter

Surely some LEDs could up your light output without increased wattage

Had the same trouble on some of my 914 rev counters, the problem is the coloured plastic film which covers the illuminated indicator holes inside the instrument has got darker, the blue over the years due to heat and sunlight has turned black and even if you increase the light output of the bulb the light will still struggle to get through.

The coloured film inside the instrument needs replacing.
