The Tuul Crib   7,331 #1 Posted September 14, 2018  Here's something to ponder. My 520 H  has headlights and tail lights. OK the gauges have knockouts in the back to put bulbs in to light up the gauges.  If you have to have the headlights on for any reason to see why did they not put lightbulbs in the cages to see as well?! 😳 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto   26,193 #3 Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) My '94 520 came with the lights in the gauges. The use of incandescent bulbs in the gauges did melt the sockets a little. I have installed LED's in them now. Edited September 14, 2018 by Achto 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat   4,894 #4 Posted September 14, 2018 Early models with the SW gauges (better) did not come with lights installed.  Later models came with lights installed that were on all the time so they are always burned out.  I install LED bulbs and rewire so they are only on with the headlights.  Cleat 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got to get some of them for sure and switch out all my old bulbs on my 520s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
