Piaggio 213417 Dashboard Green Light Indicator – Ape P50 (1980-1985)

The Piaggio 213417 light indicator light is the green indicator lamp on the dashboard of the Ape P50: the rectangular window that illuminates when the lights are on. It features a black plastic quick-fit body, a green prismatic lens, and a white two-way connector already mounted on the back. Product code 213417.

✓ Strengths

• Original Piaggio Group spare part – factory code 213417, not an equivalent.
• Green, the right shade – on the Ape's dashboard, each indicator light has its own color: mixing them makes the dashboard unreadable at night.
• Snap-on mounting – two side clips secure it in the dashboard slot, without screws.
• Connector already in place – the white two-way body with brass terminals comes pre-mounted: just plug it in.
• Prismatic lens – the textured surface diffuses light and makes the indicator visible even during the day.

Vehicle compatibility

The list is taken from the official Piaggio spare parts catalog (B2B area). If you have any doubts, send us your Ape's chassis number and we will verify the correct code for you.

Who it's perfect for

This is the part needed by anyone who is tidying up the dashboard of an Ape P50 and finds the indicator light opaque, yellowed, cracked, or even missing, with an empty hole in the metal. It's one of those spare parts that cost little but change the appearance of the entire driver's seat, because the dashboard is the first thing you look at when getting on board. It is also useful for those who are redoing the electrical system: when working on the wiring, it is advisable to replace old indicator lights, because oxidized terminals and hardened plastic are the most common cause of an indicator light that no longer illuminates.

Frequently asked questions

Which vehicle is the 213417 indicator light mounted on?
It is mounted on the dashboard of the Piaggio Ape P50 50 cc produced between 1980 and 1985. This is the list provided by the official Piaggio spare parts catalog: if your Ape is from a different series, write us the chassis number and we will confirm the correct code for your dashboard.

What color is it?
It is the indicator light with the green lens. On the Ape dashboard, the indicator lights have different colors depending on their function, and each has its own factory code: before ordering, it's worth checking the color of the lens you're replacing, because the body and fitting are identical and can be confused at a glance.

How is it mounted?
It's snap-mounted: remove the old one from the front or back of the dashboard by pressing the two side clips, disconnect the connector, and repeat in reverse with the new one. No screws or special tools are needed, and it's not necessary to dismantle the dashboard if you can work from behind.

Is the bulb included?
No: only the indicator light body with the green lens, frame, and pre-mounted two-way connector is sold. The internal bulb and cables are not included and should be taken from the old indicator light, or ordered separately if they also need to be replaced.

My indicator light doesn't turn on: does it definitely need to be replaced?
Not always. First, it's advisable to check the bulb and the condition of the two terminals in the connector, which can easily oxidize on the Ape. If the bulb is good, the contacts are clean, and there's power, then the problem is the indicator light body: usually the plastic has cracked or the internal bulb holder has lost contact.

Is it original Piaggio or an equivalent?
It is the original spare part from the Piaggio Group, with factory code 213417. Generic indicator lights of similar size are available on the market: they fit in the hole, but often have a different shade of green and softer clips, and on a restored dashboard, the difference is immediately noticeable.
