Default Re: Need info on 1949-50 instrument cluster ?

There are many ways to cure this problem, just be sure you have done something to cure the problem BEFORE you put the dash back together. I removed the purple lenses and left the bulbs in place. The problem with this is that a signal light or high beam light will light up the whole cluster. I built little aluminum dams to keep the light shining "in the right places". The other issue is that the car did not have a rheostat control for dimming the dash lights so I replaced the light switch with one from a 51 pickup which solved the problem.
