That looks like I must trace it back from fuse panel. This one is going to be a btich as I have not a clue which fuse to start?

there are a lot of threads on upgrading the lights to LED. The problem is that they are not dimmable, and also have bright/ dark spots.

Damn. My 911 is in storage. I'll see if I can find a wiring diagram.

It's better to restore the original wiring (using correct clorox and sizes) than to run a bunch of new wires.

See if you can get a date or other ID off of the back of that gauge.

On the right of this photo you can see the manual is talking about the B light and you can see it says in the cut off photo it references a light that flashes.

Does anyone have this in their owner’s manual?

The brake light blinks red when the parking brake is on in my My '74.

Did that to my 930. I don't exactly like it even though I never dim them.
