Where Do I Buy These Idiot Lights From?

[Captain Ahab Jr]

Does anyone know where I can buy idiot lights in the same style and size as the ones in these pictures

[moneymanager]

Not sure about exact style but try Pegasus.

[j911brick]

Aircraft and/or industrial supply.

Summit Racing has lights but not exact like the ones in the pics.

Longacre Racing Products 41802 - Longacre Replacement Warning Lights - Overview - SummitRacing.com

I just loaded in "warning lights" into their search engine

In the clock hole, Gary Emory uses old tail light lenses from early porsches (bee hive style). I think they are available as a reproduction. You could use a single Hella RS tail light too.

thanks for the replies, I just spent 2hrs looking, still can't find a dome style light in this style and size.

I don't just one oil warning light but would like a few so I can get rid of some of the guages.

It's for an early 70's race car inspired 911 project so I'm trying to find the same style.

This is the closest I've found and available in amber, red, blue, green but not close enough for me to want to use

I think they are available from the⠠⠃⠗⠁⠊⠇⠇⠑⠀⠠⠎⠞⠕⠗⠑

I got these on Ebay a few years back.
Not sure if they still have them????

One is used for low fuel, another for now oil pressure, and the last for broken fan belt or generator failure.

The ones from Pegasus look like this:

Those look like 16mm or 22.5mm indicator lights from standard panel-automation stuff. (Try US - Electronic Components Distributor | Newark.com around page 1366 or so. Look for Dialight, IDEC, or EAO products.)

Off topic... but I like your dash. Tell us more. Who did the work on your gauges?

North Hollywood Speedometer did the gauges with LED backlighting.
Super nice!

You'll have better luck looking in the UK for this sort of thing. Here's a few:

Holden Vintage & Classic Warning Lamps

Retro-UK Electrical Parts

Europa Spares Warning Lights

I used LED marker lights from the trucking industry -

3/4" and replaced the rear window defrost and fog light switches. One's hooked into the oil circuit. One is hooked up to a resistor that comes on below 12.5 volts (which indicates no charging)

wish I had a better picture. But they are bright.

Can't verify dimensions, but looks an awful lot like the Hella E101:



Available at Susquehanna Motorsports (rallylights dot com) and Amazon in red, amber, and green.

[donporfi]

Some with leds
LEDtronics | LED Panel Indicators, Panel Mount, Instrument & Control Panels
Linrose Indicator Lights

In England Demon Tweeks
Dash Warning Lights | Electrical Components | Motorsport Shop | Demon Tweeks

McMaster has some.
Look for Panel indicator light

thanks for the suggestions, still not seen anything in the dome style and size I want so the search continues.

Found out today the type used on the classic Porsche race cars have not been available for 20yrs

The lights were probably made by Bosch or Hella and are probably off-the-shelf industrial parts. I used to have catalogs from the manufactures that showed their offerings. But Hella/Bosch is not real common in the US so you would have to look at overseas suppliers, assuming they even still make them.

Try McMaster-Carr (McMaster-Carr). Search for panel lights.
