But i don't want chrome. I'll gladly pay twice that to get white, like everything else on the dash.

Re: Small red dash indicator lights
 

When I get my new ones next week, I'll cut the chrome bezel off the bad one to see if it is an easy job.

Re: Small red dash indicator lights
 

Not sure if those are the same ones that I have on my dash. Remember, my dash is from 1989, and the type of switches that they used then are no longer available. Or at least, that's what Mike Livorsi told me a few years ago when I broke the toggle off a switch and brought it up there to him to see what kind it was.
I was told that there is a new style replacement switch and when he showed it to me, it's nothin like the old ones.
We had a dash update to do on a 1990 Fountain, so I kept all the switches off the old dash. Now, I have a bunch of spares that I know will fit right. :D

Re: Small red dash indicator lights
 

My boat is a 1991. I plan to reuse all the switches. I did notice that one of the toggles feels a little different than the others, perhaps is has been replaced. But all the boots look the same so i don't really care what the switch looks like underneath, it's not like anyone else will be touching them anyway.

I just started taking off some of the wires. There was one connector underneath there that was plugged in, with all the wires tied neatly in place but going nowhere. I don't know why they didn't just eliminate the connector, i just took it right out. That wiring is a bit of a rats next, i'm going to clip everything and label it then run everything a lot more cleanly.

$500 minimum order from the factory.

they checked distributor inventory and they don't have what I want. Distributors have to make a minimum 25 piece order, and i only want maybe 10. If they're $2 each, though, i'll buy 25.

Re: Small red dash indicator lights
 

Price isn't bad, $2.19 each, but the potential 6 week lead time might really suck. That's if i order 25 to get the ones i want. They have black bezel ones in stock, i want white. I'll probably just order the chrome ones from the factory.


Do the new lights from the factory have raised lenses, or flat/flush lenses?

Re: Small red dash indicator lights
 

I assume just the flat lenses as there was no discussion of the raised lens.
I ordered mine last Thur morning and assumed they would have been here by now since they said they were going to be shipped out the same day. Maybe tommorrow......

Re: Small red dash indicator lights
 

Hell with it. I'm reusing the old lights. I screwed one of them up pulling it out but i need one less light on this panel since there's no seperate switches for each bilge pump.

I can't get what i want, the ones i can get more or less look like the ones i have or chrome, and i don't really want chrome. The black rims on the lights will match the black rubber boots on the switches, and the crappy old steering wheel i'm reusing.
