My (single) turn signal indicator in the tach takes a BA7 LED and looks great.

I thought that the high beam indicator socket was the same type but has proved otherwise. It's for a wedge base lamp and just does NOT throw any light.

I'd like to just swap in a BA7 socket and associated LED - does anyone have a source or an extra turn signal socket for a BA7 lamp?

Is my high beam indicator socket incorrect as a wedge socket?

Picture of old socket would help

You're right - I thought about that after I posted. Of course I buttoned it all up yesterday but I'll get back in it today and snap a pic. Stupid of me...

I probably have one. Post a pic. I'm in Temecula but could mail it to you or take it Ron's remembrance party this evening and maybe one of the LA guys attending could shuttle it to you.

those are commonly available, plenty in stock, it is the instrument light socket thatis the hard one to find, in the porsche parts manual it is only sold as a loom

The high beam light has a blue tinted lens on the instrument face, in my experience these get darker and darker until they basically don't pass any light through at all. You can achieve a faint glow with an LED bulb, but that's about it unless you have the gauge refurbished and that lens replaced.

@Jonathan Livesay - You're right but I think the LED will overcome the dimming of the blue lens and is a lot easier than opening the body of the tach.

@dr914 @autoatlanta.com - I've searched your site and I can't see which is which.

@76-914 & @914Sixer - I'll try to get a pic asap. I have today and tomorrow with the car so I'll see if I can get to it - thank you!

Here you go 74-76 single bulb holder. Is this the one you need? If so send me your shipping information.

@914Sixer - if you look on the other side, does it have a small tab that would ground against the inside of the tach? If so....yes!

Yep, ground tab on the other side.

This place rocks. sending you a PM @914Sixer
