Good morning,
I hope everyone is dry, warm, and well
still working on the wiring on my 1971 R75/5 project
it has the early instrument cluster with the motometer gauge...
I'm installing a brand new wiring harness... and have gotten as far as the spaghetti mess inside the headlight bucket.
today my question is about the 4 warning lights in the gauge...
I guess you could call it 5 lights if you count the orange turn indicator
but I'm focused on the 4 warning lights in the actual gauge...
oil
high beam
alternator
neutral
I realize the gauge has illumination back lights also... I think the 2 additional sockets on the bottom
this morning I realized... I should shine a flash light into the headlight/gauge bucket to identify the position of which colored lens is where....
however last night... I didn't think of that... I decided to ask the group of experts who know everything!
It looks like the colors are likely...
Left side, forward: green
Left side, rearward: blue (I assume high beam)
Right side, forward: green? (kinda darker)
Right side, forward: red-ish ( I assume oil pressure)
here is a picture
does anyone know the identification/location of those 4 warning light shown?
is the neutral on the right or left side ?
