If you have a panel that looks like the one pictured and aren't afraid to dig around in it, we'd like to work with you to develop a replacement for the indicator lights.

The originals come in strips, there are many variations, and none of them are available. We have an idea but we don't have a panel we work with. If you do have a panel, enjoy electricity, and like to get creative, PM me.

it looks like LED lights..... there is an alternative for the strip type lighting....

what is available is the single mini LED lights that fit into a rubber grommet... you drill a hole of the right size (about 3/8") and push the grommet into it, then fit the light.... if I remember correctly, the grommets are standard wire grommets of the size the mini led's fit into perfectly snug.
I replace them on certain machines that use that type, but I just order from the OEM so I get the complete kit for the machine. but as they are LED, its not often they need replacing
I will check on this....

they are easy to install, easy to change, and I think it would be very easy to adapt to your panel.... just remove the old lights, enlarge the hole, and push in the new ones... wiring it all up will be the biggest chore....

I think my 2000 450 has that panel. Your team worked with me in replacing the 12 V amp gauge. I had to do heavy modification to fit. If you find a replacement for them post it. I also put a red led into one of the light holes ,I would help in ant way I could I'm a auto repair tech thanks

I have a similar one and have the same "strips" but they are for the back lighting of the panel. My "on" indicator lamps are small LED in a sleeve and just "pop" into the hole.
