[Healeys] High beam warning light color

Hello

 

"continental export" means just that. Export to the Continent in the eyes of
the British in the 1950s through to whenever, means Continental Europe.

 

The high beam warning light on the BN3 is blue.

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
