## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE FROM DFW TO TOL, SMOKE EMITTED FROM UNDER THE FIRST OFFICER'S INSTRUMENT PANEL, ACCOMPANIED BY AN ODOR.  THE FIRST OFFICER'S INSTRUMENT PANEL FLOOD LIGHTING  WAS EXTINGUISHED AND ASSOCIATED CIRCUIT BREAKERS OPENED, SMOKE SUBSIDED.  THE FLIGHT CONTINUED TO TOL FOR AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE INSTRUMENT FLOOD LIGHT CIRCUITY WHICH REVEALED A BROKEN WIRE, WHICH WAS REPAIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL STANDARD PRACTICES.  A SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONAL TEST RETURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE.
