Default Who makes or sells these indicator lights?

Does anyone know who makes this type of dashboard warning light/indicator light? Very common style on 70s-80s British cars (Sample picture is from Triumph TR6).

There used to be a company selling this style of warning lamps with about 50 different icons or word choices: fog lights, 4-wheel drive, alternator, lights, wipers, etc etc. In fact, I think they make them to order if you had a particular request.

I searched all over and can't find who makes 'em.

Thanks
Doug

Have you tried Moss Motors. https://mossmotors.com. They have a free catalog and have a lot of British switches.

Thanks for the reply, Vern.

In reading my post I realize I wasn't very clear. I know Moss and others sell the ones used in MGs, Triumphs, etc. Even Jags ! But none of those have the words or icons I want. I was hoping to find the manufacturer, or a vendor offering the full array of choices.

Cheers and thanks
DD

Doug,

I've searched the UK suppliers but can't find a stockist.

I recall back in the days of printed catalogues having one with a large range of illuminated script warning lamps. I think it was Holden Vintage & Classic but they and other suppliers only appear to stock lamps with standard icons now. Script is a thing of the past!

The now-defunct Radio Shack comes to mind. Sorry
