‘36 dodge truck electrical

My dash gauges have no light. The original socket that would have fit under the cluster is long gone.  Anyone have a good idea for a light? Single wire I’m guessing that will connect to the headlight switch spot for dash lights.

Something like this?

I *THINK* RIWire sells sockets....you might have to call them, but I believe they come when you order a dash harness.

Yes !!  Speedway is the answer.  You know, my internet sucks and I’m searching on a phone with weak reception and I feel inept searching.  NAPA online had some ideas but I couldn’t get more info.  Looked at Amazon and saw some ideas in eek bay.  I found these sockets in my stash. One of those is from my dodge originally and another is from a ‘49 Coronet.  I’ll contact Speedway as new might be better right now. R.I. Wiring also got my interest. Whilst rummaging I found the original windshield wiper switch. It’s ancient looking! A search for American Bosch wiper motors has been interesting.  Lots of styles and it seems they are rebuild able if needed.  Again thanks for the info !

Napa online is lacking for searching but I did buy dash bulb sockets from them when I wired my p15

Success today. I found the socket housing for the dash lights. I also found the only 6 volt dash bulb. T-63.  I saw that on Speedway or Napa so I’m guessing it’s correct.  I cleaned it, stole the guts from another socket, wired it and hooked it up to the light switch. Light on the gauges. I’m happy. It’s putting humpty dumpy back together again.
