RE: IML: '68 Ash Tray Light

["Edward Tiede" <e_tiede@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Just took a look at a extra instrument cluster from a 68 Lebaron.  There 
is a small hole covered with a plastic piece on the bottom left side of the 
clock.  Looks like this is where the light shines from the clock into the 
ash tray.
  I then checked my 67 convertible after dark and there was a glow in the 
ash tray when the lights were turned on.
