4. Can't keep track of em all but the reason I'm here.
Did the 1968/70 Cherokees have lighted instruments? I'm ready to begin my night training and the only instruments that are lit are the clock, the VOR and the "whiskey" compass. I got this goofy looking light on the pillar just in front of the pilot's side window that looks like it belonged in a DC-3 that is momentary, meaning it is on as long as I hold the button in. I know I can strap one on my nugget to see the instruments but what I'd rather do is light the instruments. I'm wondering if the bulbs are merely burnt out or that they were never lit to begin with. Also wondering how much to replace the bulbs (again if they had them to begin with) or just install Nulights because as $54 apiece it would be more cost-effective than replacing a burnt out bulb.
