How To - Add '65-'66 Dealer Options
4 The seatbelt warning light was a factory option, so you won't find an instruction sheet or "N.O.S in the box" for purchase. Your only recourse is to find one on a parts car or buy it from an auction or swap meet. This example, found on eBay, had perfect chrome and a legible and secure red lens in it. The wiring was in excellent shape and the relay, though incorrect for '66 (who's going to see it?) works. And just because the item is N.O.S. doesn't mean it will work. Sometimes bulbs break in handling and parts fail with age, so be sure to test everything. We tested the seatbelt warning light using a bench battery and alligator-clip leads. The parking-brake warning light uses a rare bulb that has a built-in flasher, so make sure that works too.
