From comments made in the video it sounds like your truck is missing the dash light assembly.
So you would have to find the correct 12 volt bulb in this case.
It is hidden under dash above Gas gauge, behind the dash rail and has it's own switch and cable to fasten to the amp meter.

I didn't feel any light up there as you suggest. Too dark to look at it inside my garage at present. I do have a question regarding removal of that dash panel though. I have never removed my dash panel on any of the previous Model A's I have owned, so it is a learning experience for me. My question is, Do the two end screws on the dash panel have the nuts welded into place or how do you get hold of them in order to remove the screw to the front of the panel? My big mitts would not allow me to feel up in there to hold onto a nut and remove those two screws. All the other screws seem to have easy access to the nuts though. I want to remove the dash panel to see what i am dealing with. Although I can appreciate the led lighting in the video, I really didn't want to have to drill any holes if possible, so other options, including adding the light housing as you said, may be better for my own application at this time.
