 Bill, where did you source the indicator itself? DId you just get rid of the
iris part or is yours a different type?

 Beside my gear lights, I've got a little SPDT switch labled N D (night day).
 In the day position the lights get bus voltage. In the night position, a
 resistor is inserted to give me a dim light. It's worked very well instead
 of the mechanical iris.
