Making things happen...

There was a couple of things bothering me on my '73 RR...my high beam indicator light wasn't coming on...didn't want to pull the dash to check things out ...so I ran a wire from the headlight to a socket...painted the bulb red and now when I turn my high beams on a red light appears...put it under the dash but it is pretty when it lights up...also I have an automatic and that little reverse light thingy on the dash would not light up so I tapped into the back up light wire in the trunk and ran a wire to the reverse light on the dash and it lights up when I put her in reverse...I plan on taking the instrument cluster out and replacing the old bulbs one of these days...should have done it before I put in my new CD player/radio because I do not want to pull the radio out now just to replace the bulbs...all the instrument bulbs work now anyway,so why bother right?

Marla, a fellow member gave me this link because im going to replace my dash lights with the red LED bulbs, I thought i would leave it for you, I like how they look myself, not trying to convert you to this idea, but as nice as they work maybe a useful link to keep for your car or a future project. Good luck in what you plan... Ive seen your RR Its a beauty for sure!

Thanks Ron...that idea is great...I'll order them for my dash and this summer I'll pull the dash and replace all the dash bulbs with these...Marla...:walk:

You could use different color lights for everything...turn signals, brakes, high beams etc. Produce a light show inside and freak out some passengers lol. And I like the old Pontiacs!

PS, I used to get my girlfriends to stand in front of any dents when I took pics of them with my car
