Hey '69 Owners...
Could some please tell me the correct color for the word 'BRIGHT' on the speedo when your highbeams go on?
The speedo I pulled out of the car had a red warning, the replacement I just got has a bluish warning.
Easy enough to swap the lens while the gauge is apart, I just want to make sure I put the correct color in.
Thanks... :cheers:

I'll have to check my early '70 and see if that holds true... Regardless, you're safe going with the red warning for your '69

I have a car with a blue light and a car with a red light, both I think are original (haven't check the other car). The blue one was early in the production run, number 3 or 4 thousand.
