Tracking down a few issues with the titled items I recently replaced both my hi beam relay and my flasher relays and dash indicator lights.

I used the LED friendly flasher available from Spoke here

and the hi beam relay from Bug Haus here

My relay board looks just like this

There was no anchor for the hi beam relay. (mine was electrical taped to the flasher relay. The Bug Haus unit has a handy clip on the top and it slid right into the hole in the fuse plate

And tidied it up nicely.IPB Image

My turn indicator and Hi Beam indicator had been very dim so I upgraded to LEDs. Upon removal of the tach, a big part of the issue was that the round colored gels do not 100% line up with the bulb holders. They are offset like a crescent moon and I'd guess about 20% of the "light tube" is offset from the colored gel. They are offset in such a way that even if you were to rotate the gauge face so one item got 100% alignment, the other would be blocked even more. I'm amazed that they could really be seen at all with the dim originals. You can upgrade to 2+W incandescents but the LEDs are much brighter and cooler running so I'd recommend that route.

Original relay had clip, yours must have been replaced at some point.

Pretty old as it has a press board base, but maybe not original?
