66 Instrument Panel Wiring

[Presley Foster]

I am re-installing my instrument panel in my 66 Vette. I have the wiring diagram but need help on the abreviations for wire colors.
I am very color blind so getting the wires/bulbs in the correct holes is difficult for me.
The abreviations I am having trouble with are LBL, DBL, LG, T, B.
I figured out that GRY is Gray. But not sure about the others.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks.
Only want to install this once.
Now I will have to get the wife out to point out the difference between light green and tan.

Presley,

There are 5 lamps that need special attention

The right turn signal (dark blue)
The left turn signal (light blue)

At the top center of the cluster you have the holy 3
Parking brake (pink tan) and headlamp alarm (lt blue/gray/br) both take the special 257 flasher bulb and if I recall correctly they are the only ones with plastic sockets.

between them is the high beam 1445 bulb (lt. green)

I did these first then the gray illumination will go in the remaining holes.

The cluster ground is black and is located top right hand side.

I am reading from my sketch of the back side of my 66 cluster I used as a guide

Good luck

Randy

Thanks Randy.
I think I have everything identified. It has been several years since I had the panel out. This time I finally got fed up with the odometer not working. Got that fixed and now am putting it all back together. My basic problem is being unable to identify the wire colors. My wife is a big help with that.
