Looking for a complete M38 dash light assembly.
I have one and am missing the second.
Would anyone happen to have one laying around?
Thanks! _________________ Bo Howell

Just to be clear, you're looking for one dash blackout light that mounts in the instrument cluster panel, right? If that's what you need I'll look through my stash and see if I can help.

Keep in mind that the gage illumination lamps are constructed as a pair.

Wes,
Constructed as a pair --- at the factory?
For some reason (perhaps as a service part replacement?) the lights are also listed as single complete lights (quantity 2) on page 152, part number 7760412 (as I posted above, because the OP only needs one of the pair not both).
Unless? ----- Item K, described in the ORD9 on page 153 as SLEEVE, double female connector w/spring and connector assembly --- consists only of the little wiring block (SLEEVE) where the two light wires plug in (and doesn't include the pair of bases) ?
A double Douglas connector would easily replace it.
Could be mistaken, but looking at the MWM photo link of the NOS light seems to support that conclusion -----> https://shop.midwestmilitary.com/product/instrument-cluster-light/ _________________ Ron D.

Thank you Ron and Wes! I did not realize they were wired as a pair. (My wiring is a mess and I had not looked in the manuals yet) I also had checked everywhere I could think of for just one, But did not try MWM. _________________ Bo Howell
