warning lights on gauge... which goes where?

[brant914]

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 ?

additionally...

I see on the parts microfiche... that one of the WL bulbs is supposed to be 4watts

the other 5 apparently all 2 watts...

which warning indicator is the big bulb?


edit...
just looked at the diagrams again
it looks like the microfiche shows the 4watt bulb on the charging system

may have answered my own 2nd question

Not sure what you're asking for...wiring inside or just position of the lights in the instrument. If the latter, here's a /5 owner's manual. Figure 5 here shows the position of the various bulbs. It would seem from the visible color, that the left two are correct. But the manual says the lower right is orange and for oil pressure...OK that color seems like it works. The upper right is the charge light and is supposed to be red...yours doesn't look red to me.

thank you...
I was just trying to figure out the position of the light in the gauge as you answered...

sorry I don't have a manual yet
need to read the link you provided...

hmmm... weird if I have the wrong color on one...... but I'll look into it.

Left upper - blue - high beam
Left lower - green - neutral
Right upper - ? color - oil pressure
Right lower - red - alternator

quick update...
I took a short break from work.... ran to the garage...
took a small flashlight and shined it from within the headlight case up through the W/L

the upper right shines Red...

it sure doesn't look red without the back light..
but Hooray....
