Just swapped gauges I removed from a parts car in my project - parts car was a '74 and project is a '73. I have one light left over that appears to light the bright light indicator? There is not even a place to insert the light but the light is there on the new gauge face? Any suggestions on what to do with the light?

BTW - How do you torn the bright lights on?

turn headlights on, and pull the turnsignal stalk towards you...you should hear a click and your lights should dim and bow to the almighty brights....

74 cars built late in the model year might've used a later style tach, one with the high beam indicator up near the top, and a single indicator for both turn signals. the earlier style tach had the high beam indicator mounted near the center bottom. make certain the bulb is grounded and that your flasher switch works. it's the silver (or black) cube on the fuse panel. as stated above, it will 'click' when the light stalk is pulled forward (with the key on).
