Warning Lights

Apart from SVC, where else can warning lights be obtained?
(E.G. for h/brake, reversing & brake fluid level). Triumph Dolly used to fit a circular cluster - any other vehicle use a similar arrangement?

The dolomite cluster is quite nice - and retro too.

Europa spares for one do car type switches.

RS and Farnell do lots of switches - the difficulty is the legending.


I used switches that you can take the top off and have a bulb underneath. The legend is inserted under the cover. I got my labels by scanning a renault megane handbook, and printing them onto inkjet projection film.

Came out good.

ETB do some really nice ones with hidden until lit legends with a choice of chrome, black or brass bezels.

I bought mine from Premier Wiring

I took a look at SVC whilst at Newark but Premier just had the edge on price. Premier also had a pod to allow fog lights to be mounted vertically.

Ive got a dash for a locost fitted with dolomite dials and it has that round cluster of warning lights if your after one.

Guys, thanks for the feedback & suggestions. Still mulling over the different options.
