Dash warning lights.

Anyone know where I can get some dash warning lights, I'm after something about 12mm with symbols on for things like battery and oil. The only ones I have seen are plain coloured ones with no symbols or large ones (24mm) with. I've tried all the usual suppliers but nn joy.

Most kit spares suppliers can supply a marked-up brake warning light - this is the only one that has to be marked by law (or at least have a label!)

The only other ones I've seen can be bought from Vehicle Wiring Products or Stafford Vehicle Components. These look like flat switch bodies with 2 windows, where you can push in translucent plastic windows with a huge range of standard markings.

The first option will cost you around £2 - £2.50. The second will cost as much as 8 to 10 times more!

rgds,

I say buy some 12mm bezeled warning lights from Europa and get a pack of stickers from a motor factors, they contain hundreds of different stickers and they are very cheap!

I've got some from ETB (http://www.etbinstruments.com/), they are around 12mm and are very nice (definetely a price worth paying)

If you ever see a Bedford CF van in the scraper have a look at the dash if its there,superb seperate warning lights with symbols on and easy to remove.
