Need dash lights pic

Can Somone please post a pic of their stock dash turn signal lights in use? Ditto for high beam.

I have Digital Dakota dash that has these dinky turn indicators. I would like add Bulbs or LEDs that will look someone original assuming they are the two smaller openings just off center on the dash. Do they have arrows?

Not sure where high beam indicator is originally either.

It will depend on what bulb sockets you have for your turn signals. yes the factory ones have arrows. See photo. I circled everything for you. The bright light indicator is red and in the top middle on the speedometer (also circled).

The factory bulbs were #194 and for a little brighter you can use a #168. If you want LED's just google the bulb number with LED, for example: "#194 LED" on a Google search will get you a ton of hits for what you are looking for.


Hope this helps.

Great pic, thanks.

The arrows are in the panel I assume.

The arrows are in the front tin (panel) or black tin as some people call it. The arrows are stamped in the sheet metal right from the factory. This is part of a system that needs to all work together. Behind this tin, there are cardboard tubes with green plastic covers that direct the light from the light bulb socket which is placed in the rear tin.

Hope this helps,
Tom

It helps. I appreciate the detail. I'll have to look at how mine is done being an aftermarket panel. I did find the bulbs, tubes and sockets on truckandcarshop.
