Re: Tandem Lock indicator no more - now it's a Parking Brake light

markeb01, i used the existing Tandem Lock red lens, rubbed off the Tandem Lock letters, then printed PARK BRAKE in Calibri 10 font onto a clear mailing label that I got from Staples. Had to experiment with the font and the placement to get it centered. The font matched the original letters on the tandem lock indicator. So, when done, I just placed the Park Brake clear label over the red lens that used to say Tandem Lock. No heat issues as the bulb is at the opposite end of the cardboard light tube, about 3 inches away. Works just like a turn signal lens except the red lens is part of the instrument cluster like the original rather than a green cap for a turn signal.
