dash lights originality

Are the 3 dash lights and housings the same for SIV and SV .. ??

High/low beam - blue
Winker - green
Ignition - redish
.. ??

I'm working on a dashboard but my car is across town, but even if here it would not necessarily tell me anything beyond what it has...

I do recall that its red ignition light is different; it is not smooth like the SV parts car light. But which is stock, if either.. ??

Thanks in advance .. :)

Allan,

the ignition light is red. The later SIV cars have the rectangular lights as per the SV/Tiger and IIRC there is no dimmer eye-lid as on the indicator and high beam. I am not sure but some early SIV cars may have had the round lights like the S3 perhaps.

Michael thanks.. !

I looked back thru my pics, did find one for ignition, and it is round, and the red lens is not smooth, but is faceted, sorta like a diamond cut I suppose.

I think maybe the blue and green units are round too, now that you mention it. It is a fairly early SIV.

Parts car components are all rectangular, and the red lense is smooth like the green and blue ones. They come from a later SV.
