my 1975 car seems to have a 2 prong plastic type socket, which appears to have an internal connection to the speedo can for ground.
my question is why does this socket have 2 spades? in my 1972 car, the white/green wire was cut and this light was spliced into the regular dash lights but this car seems to use a metal socket that grounds directly to speedo can. I want to revise my wires once again to allow for a high beam indicator light in my speedo. thoughts? should I use a metal or plastic type socket? I know - or think - that some of my lights are in plastic dual spade sockets because they are feed ground thru the ecu - like oil pressure dummy light? thus wondering if there are 2 kinds of plastic sockets? thanks Attached image(s)
