1979 - Instrument Cluster Lights ID
The previous owner of this '79 installed some Phantom custom gauges. However, looks like all of the warning lights were left out or not connected back. I'm trying to identify what lights went where. If someone could confirm or correct where I think they are located would really help me out.
I think in the center cluster the Seat Belt warning light is on the left and the Alt/Lo Fuel is on the right. Although, not sure the Lo Fuel works on a '79
In between the speedo/tach would be the brake and hi-beam, but not sure which is on top or bottom.
If there are others please let me know......thanks!

Gauge Cluster Lights
I can help. Here are a couple of shots of the dash in my 78. Between Speedo and tach, in descending order, are: blinkers, high beam, and emergency brake light.
In center console, too left is seat belt light .When I fuel injected my car, I replaced it with a check engine light .Bottom left is blank in my 78. Set up for a bukb, but no printing on the screen .I used that hold for my car alarm.
Top right is low fuel indicator. Bottom right is the GEN light.
(These pics didn't end up looking as good as I hoped...)

Wiring diagrams won't help as the low fuel is a stand alone module. If you pull the center console, easy to tell as there will be a circuit board mounted to the back of the light socket. I'm not certain, but guessing it would be a standard option? Never seen mine light up, but with the electric fuel pump mounted in my unbaffled tank, I always make sure to fill up when gauge shows down to 1/4.

I need help... I have been constantly working on my center gage cluster since I changed the circuit board (Twice). Does anyone have information on the resistors? I have a Blue, Orange, Green and yellow. How do I check them to know if they are working correctly? Any help is greatly appreciated.
