OE Match dashboard control light (green, red or blue), commonly referred to as an “idiot light” or warning light, designed for use in the instrument panel of classic Porsche 356 models (between the speedometer and tachometer). It provides visual indication of critical vehicle systems, alerting the driver to operating conditions that require attention.
Available:
• GREEN - Dash Indicator Light for Oil Pressure
• RED - Dash Indicator Light for Alternator/Generator
• BLUE - Dash Indicator Light for Headlights
Fits:
Porsche 356 Pre-A 1950 - 1951
Fits to numbers 43, 44 and 45 on the diagram.
The dashboard control light provides a clear visual warning to the driver when monitored systems - such as oil pressure, charging, or other critical functions -require attention. When illuminated, it alerts the driver to take corrective action, helping prevent mechanical damage or system failure.
Installed in the dashboard, the warning light illuminates when a connected circuit is activated by a sensor or switch. It completes the circuit to ground (or power, depending on configuration), causing the bulb to light up. Its design ensures reliable illumination and correct brightness.
Warning lights are a critical safety and monitoring feature. A non-functioning or degraded dashboard control light may prevent the driver from noticing oil pressure loss, charging system faults, or other issues that could lead to engine damage. Replacing worn or faulty warning lights with OE Match components restores proper system indication and preserves the authenticity of the classic Porsche dashboard.
When to replace:
• Warning light does not illuminate during system check
• Lens is cracked, faded, or discoloured
• Electrical contacts are corroded or unreliable
• During dashboard restoration or re-wiring
• To restore original instrument panel appearance
