Gauge/Dashboard Lights... How To.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Like to see how lights are set up on back of the dashboard, to light up the gauges.

I need to install for night time.

Any suggestions or pics.

Thanks.

There are strategically placed holes on the back of the cluster - there are 8-10 (guesstimate since I don't have one in front of me) plastic clips that hold a 194 size bulb in them and they 'twist' onto the circuit board on the cluster...

You can test the dash cluster out of the truck to make sure the lights work (before installing it) - with a set of alligator clips and a battery.
