    I would think someone would have one.. try Hudzilla . Where are you when we need you Lance? . If he doesn't have one... I bet he can find one..
    They have a green "eye'.

    Looks as though they had two or more models of the jewel:48-51, and 52, plus 4C, 5C and 7C. No mention of D series. Mine is orange, but did not come on car- I installed signals, and have no idea which model it was in originally. May have come from Glenn Johnson or Ken Amman. Hudzilla should have one. Walt-LA

    mine also is orange. can't say i've seen green. Walt 1-3c and D's are not listed because they have individual left and right green arrows within the speedometer cluster.

    I've seen green and orange, but mostly orange. Either Carpenter or Drake makes a replacement for the 40 Ford hi beam indicator, it's red/orange and looks identical to the Hudson part from the front of the dash. The problem is the groove for the retainer is in the wrong place for the Hudson lamp socket/retainer and it won't lock on to it. Might be able to use the Ford unit. I think the whole works is about $20.00 to $25.00. Check with one of the dealers of repro Ford parts if there's one near you.
