I am trying to get a poll of who would buy some new dash lights that came in the 73-77 Broncos. Hopefully one of the vendors will read this and say "Hey, that's a good idea. Let's start making some." SO, if you want to see some reproductions for your old, corroded, burned out, or broken ones that you can't find anywhere- Speak up...

I like the stock ones. I just put new bulbs in mine and they are great. I pulled the shade piece out and now they are really bright.

If they were made with LEDs Id be in.

Don't have any on my '69, but they would be a good idea to reproduce. I don't think I've ever seen a correctly working set.

yep papitt, the ones that say heater and all that- and funny you should mention breaking one. they're a bear to get out in one piece if you don't have the dash out of the truck. seems that Ford made them with the idea being 'planned obsolescence.' i could use about 4 sets of them right now..

Just take the bulbs out and go to radio shack and get new bulbs. It is super easy to fix. Then take the black plastic piece out and they are really bright. Take a little steel wool to the chrome bezel and they look new and are brighter than new.

An aftermarket set would be cool though if they were billet and LED.
