WTB- Park Warning Light for Dash

[71TexasBoss]

Looking for the parking brake warning light that's mounted to the lower left of the dash on 1971s with convenience group.

Me too, I kinda wish I would have welded that hole up when I had my dash out. Anyone have any thoughts about something else that would work here? Thanks.

You can get something like this, but then you will have to get innovative with an angled bezel.

Or, you can do like I'm going to. My car didn't have the convenience group, so I'm going to connect a parking brake switch to the "BRAKE" light in the dash panel. It operates by being grounded. You can even get one of these, so the parking brake warning flashes, and wire it in between the parking brake switch and the dash. It handles over 1 amp, so will easily power an incandescent 194 bulb (0.3 amps):
