Default Weird question, but need some help with dash indicators

Hey all...

I'm an old hot-rodder and gearhead, but oddly enough I'm not here because I'm restoring a 2nd gen TA (I wish... my F-body back in the early 80's was a '77 Camaro that I beat the hell out of...but I digress ).

I'm helping my son build a highly detailed digital 1977 Y82 TA for a racing sim, and need some details on the dash layout. Specifically, where was the high-beam indicator located?

Any other info on indicators and dummy lights also greatly appreciated (Pics of a lighted factory dash with high beams on maybe?)

Thanks for any help, and I may be back with some more questions.

(Apologies to the admins if this is in the wrong place... feel free to move if necessary.)

Don’t mind the gauge mounted low and to the right. Not factory

Brian...

Is that high beam indicator blue or green? Kinda hard to tell in the pic, compared to the right blinker light which I assume is green.

(What a weird place for the high beam indicator. )

Ok cool. One more question if I may...

Can you get a pic of it that shows the text on the red indicators at the bottom of the speedo?

Thanks again

No problem! When you’re done, if it possible, seeing the finished product somehow would be cool
