Of particular note in auction files on the Polk Auction website is that UJB

Re: [Healeys] Main beam warning light<br><div>Simon-if you have good eye si=

 chrome ring-just a slight bit-if you move them too much they will break of=

 Carefully lift from the seal.=C2=A0 Remove and clean glass inside-don&#39;=
t bung the needle, but the little circle you can probably push out from the=
 rear lamp opening-yes it is just s small piece of acetate or Mylar. Replac=

edge if it tends to fall out-if tight good- if loose it will be laying in t=

 ring back into place and just push the tabs down a small bit, softly-I use=
 a wood coffee stick-again so you don&#39;t break them off-they are brittle=

Simon-if you have good eye sight and a steady hand, CAREFULLY,
slightly open the tabs on the rear of the chrome ring-just a slight
bit-if you move them too much they will break off. Now rotate the
ring to the open slots. Don&#39;t let the glass fall out. Carefully
lift from the seal.=C2=A0 Remove and clean glass inside-don&#39;t bung
the needle, but the little circle you can probably push out from
the rear lamp opening-yes it is just s small piece of acetate or
Mylar. Replace the circle with the blue one-maybe a very small drop
of airplane glue on edge if it tends to fall out-if tight good- if
loose it will be laying in the bottom of the gauge after a few
miles.
<div><br></div>
<div>Now rotate the ring back into place and just push the tabs
down a small bit, softly-I use a wood coffee stick-again so you
don&#39;t break them off-they are brittle from chroming. Clean the
outside of the glass and replace the rubber &quot;O&quot; ring which is
actually a square rubber to be correct. Best of luck.=C2=A0</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>For the ignition lamp, make sure you have the correct bulb-it
is not the same as the panel bulb-its brighter. Needs a good ground
as well.=C2=A0 Hank<br><br><div></div>

<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span>I don=E2=80=99t normally put much stock in the

(could be 20+ years), I put a piece of red plastic into an
