---Yes, on the dash lights for "lighter", "choke", "heater", etc. there is a
bulb that snaps into a 1/2" hole. There are two types used in my `78 dash,
one that is two wire and the other is self grounding, don't remember which
one is for what though. I picked up repair terminals for all the lights
(i.e. tail lights, b-u lights, turn signal) and the same terminal worked to
rewire the dash lights. Even had plenty left over after rewiring the
courtesy light circuit, just couldn't find the terminals for the ground side
of two wire light sockets.

---As for the instrument lighting, like you said, it is a socket that turns
(left to unlock and right to lock) in the circuit board. The bulb just
simply gets pushed into the holder (#158).
