Lucas WL13

Post by morgy »

Internet searches have come up with Zero so i thought i would ask here if anyone has any photos of a Lucas Wl13 dash warning light assembly fitted to late 427's and 289 sports...

Thanks again

Hi Migge

Thanks for the links... my research show these items are actually Lucas WL3's not 13's

Originally the WL12 had a small bezel with alloy body as far as i can tell it was proceeded by the WL13, This has 3 styles of bezel holders, As far as i can tell they were available with Large Green, large red, Possibly Amber, and also small green as used for the Indicator warning/repeaters...

I guess for most the WL3 would be fine as the Bezels look the same.

This is the same as the WL3 I have, which as far as I can tell is correct for the Cobra:

Easy to fit to an ali dash, not so easy for the thicker fibreglass. On this type the bulb is fitted from the front - the bezel unscrews to access it, with the lamp body held in the dash by the spring.
