I have traced the no power all the way to the igniter. So stopped there and will just live with it for now.

Ratman, the NA pic is of just one bulb replaced, the one at the top of the housing. The other one looked like it illuminated the high beam indicator, so i left it alone. The neutral light LED seems to be encased beyond where even 2beers delved into. Does your '99 have 2 bulbs that light the gauge face?

ok Official today, I went to all auto parts store, or stores that carry auto "stuff" wedge type bulbs type 194, 74, 24 I can get in amber or clear, nothing else, unless I order a box of 24 and the shipping is $10.00, so I'll stick to amber for now.

Ouch! Still waiting on amazon to deliver mine... I will check and see if it's possible to order some down here for under that.. if so.. can work something out.

GB never thought to go that far into the speedo. I have an issue with my igniter, in that I have only one bulb working in the speedo. I have traced the no power all the way to the igniter. So stopped there and will just live with it for now.

I have tried my neighbours address and even an APO and same results, I would use your address but they want payment before they send it. So I'll need your credit card number.

2beers bride, we need a name for her now or something......but I am going to go with the NA bulb and if and when I find a red one I'll try it.

It's xxxx xxxx xxxx 5439.   Let me know when to expect it. ;)

It's nice outside right now! (I live over in the pan handle) and Nothing wrong with refresher course, have my wife taking it weds/thurs this week as a matter of fact. Nice looking rides you guys got tho =0)

Thanks for the compliment!  Tell your bride to enjoy the course...we'll both be in 'school' at the same time  :)

Ha ha....In reality, he's put more miles on Blue than I've put on Princess since we got them.  I found that I'm more rusty at riding than I want to admit (gee, those 28 years since I had a bike went by fast).  I took time off this coming week so that I can attend a local refresher/beginner's course, gotta fix this issue...weather's getting nice down here!

They look good.  Tell hubby he needs to get some more miles on Blue to catch up to you!

Looking good!!!! That blue is just too bright! Think 1 or 2 blue LED's would fit the bill nicely.  Natural Amber is a very subtle change. Think that's another good alternative lighting.. Just for something different and doesn't hinder the ability to read gauge. What a difference a little bulb can make.

The results. Blue has a ring of Nanoflex blue LED's and a nice clean lens on her speedometer, and Princess has a NA Amber bulb replaciement, still with a smudgy lens lol. Opening the back of one speedometer housing was enough for today, and i'll wait to see if we can find the Nanoflex in amber before we go through that again.  Thanks for the NA pic, Ratman!  That inspired me  :)

OP, Looking forward to seeing pics of the Red when its complete!
