Ignition light

[Rob Glasgow]

Should the ignition indicator light at the bottom of the tach have a colored lens similar to the red lens on the high beam indicator on the speedo? If so what color? I have a 1960 BT7. Anyone have any idea where/how to obtain a replacement?

Thanks, Rob

Hello Rob,
normally the main beam indicator is blue and the ignition warning light is red. I suspect finding the lens only will be difficult, you may have to locate a second hand unit.

My BJ7 high beam indicator is clear too. It's been that way since I've had the car (since 1983).

Try dismantling the tacho and looking inside. On both the Healeys I've owned these lenses were missing but I found them in the bottom of the casing out of sight!
