★ Accurate reproduction of the original WWII military dashboard lighting, suitable for restoration of Dodge WC-series vehicles.

Application

Suitable for Dodge WC-series vehicles (WC-1 through WC-43), both open cab models (weapon carrier) and closed cab variants (carryall, ambulance, command car). Note voltage: early models (WC-1 through WC-27) have 6V system, some later command cars (WC-56/57) have 12V system. Check your vehicle's voltage before installation.

Installation notes

The lamp holders are mounted behind the instrument panel and illuminate the gauges from above. The shielded housing prevents light leakage and ensures discreet lighting in accordance with blackout specifications. Check before installation that the lamps fit the existing openings in your instrument panel.

Compatibility

This set is specific to Dodge WC-series instrument panels. Not all WC models use the same number of lights — early T-207 and T-211 models have different instrument panels than later T-214/T-215 models. Check the number of lamps required for your specific model. Note: 6V vehicles use different bulbs than 12V radio vehicles.

Historical context

The Dodge WC-series was fitted during WWII with subtle instrument panel lighting according to military blackout specifications, whereby shielded lamps illuminated the gauges from above without allowing visible light to escape outwards.
