Smiths Dual Gauge light
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2009 6:58 pm
Hello,
I am replacing the bulbs in my instruments (Elan S3 '67) as they were quite "low intensity", the equivalent to a candle. The dual gauge oil/water backlight was never working and now that I have taken it out of the dashboard I am surprised that there is no light bulb, no bulb hole nor any connection ...
Is this the way it should be ? No backlight in the dual gauge ?
Thanks
Guillermo
PS I am not sure if I got the original instrument or not (the rev counter was a MG one) and did not find any (detailed) image of the original one.
