    I'm still missing the light colored amber or yellow lamp and would be more than happy to find either one.

    Do you know of someone that has the amber or yellow lamp they may be willing to sell? Thanks!

    Listed below are the most typical and common applications for these warning lamps;

    RED     = Alternator Fan

    GREEN     = Oil Pressure

    LIGHT YELLOW / AMBER     = Low Fuel Level

    ORANGE = Fuel Pressure (fuel leak or...)<!-- END user desc -->

    LAMPS or LIGHT SOCKETS for 917 Warning Lamps / Idiot Lights

    I forgot to ask if anyone has ANY photos showing the lamps and lamp sockets used by the 917 in the above photos. Can you post those here?

    Note the copper spring-connector incorporated into the plastic housing of the warning lamps.

    WEBMASTER: This thread should be moved to he Technical Section and not left here under "Other Porsche Passions". My .02 cents...

    PS: JTorres, can you help?
