    I took delivery of a beautiful new dash from DD Fabricating, and now I'm trying to wire it up.
    I had a mod put in for the '78ish (mine is a '65) style cable pulls for the heating, and the small square indicators to indicate which is which.
    Unfortunately the small square lights have 2 prongs that are unmarked. Anybody know which is positive and which is negative?
    Thanks!!

    If they’re LED, you won’t hurt them if you hook them up reverse polarity. They just won’t light up. So I would just apply 12v and see what happens.

    If they’re incandescent, either way will work.

    I'll post some pics of my D&D dash in my Resto thread if you want - although it's now red. Dan did an excellent job.

    This is my build thread. The project has been shelved a long time. More time at home (Covid lock downs) gave me the time to get back to it.
