Idiot lights - Fitting issuue
« on: December 12, 2020, 07:17:24 PM »
Hi,

thought i would fit the idiot lights but the holes don't match. Its not the original as I bought this a year or more ago, The hole centre on the bracket is 45mm where the hole centre on the lights is 50mm???

Wrong idiot light cluster?

Have you got a photo of the front of the idiot lights?

Is the ignition switch fitted correctly?

Where's that 10mm socket got to?

No idea what your one is from but the 400/4 unit has a complete hole at the bottom that goes round the ignition / key hole bit. Found this pic which may help. I will take a pic of mine in the morning.

Unfortunately, yes. I don't know what Honda yours is from but someone may recognise it.
