1968 Barracuda Convertible
Another item off the to-do list. I picked up a pair of mini bulbs for the hood indicators off of eBay. I ended up having to rebuild the indicators as the feed wires were so brittle they disintegrated when I pulled the indicators apart. I ended up grabbing dash bulb wires with connectors from an old harness I had lying around and splicing them into the wiring. Once cleaned up, the passenger side worked well, the driver side not at all. After a little research I realized the feed wire wasn't making contact with the bulb on the driver's side indicator. I pulled it back apart, scavenged a short piece of spring from a ball point pen, installed it onto the wire under the contact which pushed it up onto the bulb when assembled, and now they both work as they should. I used a TIG wire to feed the wiring back through the hood and out the bottom to the feed wires.
