    Howdy all:
    Been A while... looking for the light housing that attaches to the speedo cluster. It is the one that comes from the alternator (grey wire) has a wire that branches off of it and connects to the bottom post of the speedo. (The exciter wire and amp light.)
    Thx

    Thank You Howard:
    I searched through the light sockets threads and amp lights. found some information yet nothing on where to obtain the part or if it is available. Do you have any suggestions other than finding some one parting out their jeep?
    thx
    Dave

    I just bought some for my 75 not to long ago.

    Pretty much everyone has the wrong part indicated for those but I managed to find the right ones with the four metal tabs that hold them into the instrument cluster. I recall it was made by one of the "usual" Jeep parts suppliers...not Omix but someone else.

    I'll check brand and model # when I get home. I still have the packages in my office.
