Neither one of the Camaro large gauges has any warning lamp windows in it. They are all on a strip below the gauges in the Camaro so you would lose any of those you needed like the check engine light, brake warning light, etc...

All of the ones I find intact at the pull it yourself wrecking yard are the weird double sided needle 85 mph / kph speedos that look lame.

I had a 145 mph speedo in my 83 that came out of a newer one but had to buy it at a regular wrecking yard at a much higher cost. It looked really cool but the usable range of the thing was so small it was tough to be precise at how fast you were driving.
