Vintage Speedster 356 speedomter, combo gauge backlight | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Hello,

I just purchased a Vintage Speedster 356 and was wondering if the gauges have a backlight? I drove it for the first time a night and noticed that none of the gauges illuminated when the headlights were turned on.

Thanks in advance!

Yes they do! Check your light switch by turning it to the right or left to see if they turn on. If they don't, then maybe a ground problem or bulbs.
