[Healeys] Main beam warning light

[Bob Spidell]

Apparently a muddle. I don't have a BT7, but AFAIK all speedometers 
after the 100s had a blue(?) high beam light and the tach had the red 
ignition warning light. There is no need for a 'ratio' on the tach; I 
believe your car would have cable drive whilst later cars would have an 
electronic tach, driven by coil input pulses.
