Default Re: Instrument Panel Light

Back in the olden days when I first bought a Model A, mine came without a dash light. Being the enterprising teenager that I was, I devised my own. I got a 2 filament bulb, more than likely a tail/stop light. I wired the "tail" portion to come on with the lights, and the "stop" on a separate toggle switch. That way I could turn on the brighter light that would illuminate the entire floor area anytime I wanted. But what did I know, just a teenager.
