    Im working on a 1966 CJ-5 and it has no turn signal or hibeam indicators in the gauge cluster. If I get one for a CJ-7 will the speedo still work properly? I have turn signals and would like to have the indicators and the hi-beam indicator would be great too.
    Thanks

    Ryan,
    The speedo should have a high beam indicator built in.

    Turn signal indicators would be on the turn signal unit itself.

    But, yes, a later CJ speedometer will work.

    Ryan, Your high beam indicator should be around the 11 o'clock position on your cluster. Nothing special just a hole in it that lights up when the high beams are on.

    Running a later-model speedo in my '64:

    Turn signal indicators and high-beam indicator all work (but did a complete re-wire last fall).

    Thanks

    I want to get a new one with new gauges in it so a newer one makes sense for this application. As long as it will still tell me how fast im going it will be great.
