I'm re-doing the basket weave on my '70 914 6 dashboard.
Saw a beautiful ashtray at Ski Rountop and brought it home. I removed my original not-so-clean original ashtray and noticed it has a feature I've never seen before, it has a plastic 'window' that would allow a small bulb to illuminate the open ashtray. I see no lamp socket in the area or room to mount one, but there is an opening in the mount for the tray to allow the light through. It's easy to check.....anyone else ? One further observation.....all mounts have the window.......of my eight eight ashtrays only one has the plastic window. Attached thumbnail(s)
