I always thought the high beam was blue and the ignition was red. It is that way on my BN6.

Subject: [Healeys] High beam warning light color

I need some help with the proper color for the high beam warning light in my ‘61 BN7.

The 2004 Originality Guide (page 9) says that cars destined for “continental export” had blue warning lights for the high beam and red for the ignition warning light.  My car was shipped directly to California for sale by a dealer here.  Is that considered “continental export”?

I just had my speedo repaired by Foreign Speedo.  The little colored lens for the high beam warning light was missing since I bought the car.  Preston told me they discovered a red lens inside and he reinstalled it.

So, I am wondering if it should be blue or red?  Since I have the gages out,  now would be the time to make it right if I can find out what is right.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ron Fine
