But.... I have blown three indicator lights already. I am using a Fender style lamp holder with 120v bulbs. Does the bulb care which way the current is moving? My house voltage is around 125v. Should I just get a higher rated bulb or put a resistor in there to drop the voltage? If so what values? Thanks in advance for any ideas!

The original Indicator is the Mode electronics 55-463-0 You can buy them at electosonic in canada. I think it was www.e-sonic.com.

Right, I forgot to mention that I am using a 120v bulb. I think I am going to just change it out for the correct style and use the Fender Lamp in the dumble build.JimiB wrote:ummm usually fender style pilot lights run off the 6.3v heater taps.![]()
