Aftermarket gauges and fiber optic cable

[Clavo106]

I have aftermarket gauges and a fiber optic cable for my shift Colum light indicator. don't know a clean way of getting around this so that fiber optic cable transmits lite from the bulb connector on the original cluster (ribbon) ... I would like to know a clean way of doing this.. or people that ran this set up would be great... ( maybe drill a hole in one of my aftermarket gauges to put the end of the cable into it?) idk

One of the bulb holders, the plastic part the bulb sits in should have a hole in it where the fiber optic line plugs in.

Just noticed you have aftermarket gauges, I wasn't getting enough light out of my fiber optic line so I added another bulb, I drilled a hole in a small block of aluminum big enough for the glass bulb to slide in and another hole on the other end to fit the fiber optic line into. Been working great for five years.
