Re: [FWDLK] Hand Brake Warning Light

[Brad Werner <bwerner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ron ,

Just pulled the brake warning light from my '57 Dodge .The bulb was a T90
fits from the back of the warning light bezel. The  bulb base goes into a
standard auto bulb base which has small prongs surrounding it. This assembly
snaps into the warning light bezel with only the glass bulb inside the part
that attaches to the dash.By unscrewing the nut behind the warning light
dash bezel and then the bezel on front of the dash it will simplify
replacing the bulb.

Hope this helps,by the way the bulb said made in Mexico !!
