Default 69 Camaro speedo and tach lights are not green.

What am I missing? There are two bulbs without any green covers. Would you guys happen to have any pics of the parts that I am missing?
Thanks

There are green plastic lenses in a black thin metal shell that they fit into. The metal shell is black on the outside and white on the inside. The green lenses slip into little tabs and the whole thing gets screwed to dash housing (2 screws). I dont' have a pic handy, but pretty sure I have some spares I can part with. I am not sure if the green is in good shape though, they sometimes got too hot and char'ed a spot.

Hi Years ago I bought a 69 instrument cluster with the high horsepower tach. The strange thing was that it had blue lenses not the green that you always see. It didn't look to have been modified. It was from a Canadian car. Maybe that is what is in your dash. Has anyone else seen this in other dash clusters ? Ron

Nova switched to corporate blue lighting color a year before Camaro and Chevelle did.

I have not been able to find reproduction pieces. What would you take for yours?

I just sent you a email with the address. I think your email ended up in my spam folder for some reason or another.
Thanks
