Milky, same note to you as I just typed to Ratman. I thought the lower light was the high beam indicator. I'll go check the wiring diagram that Ratman so kindly forwarded...

I have a standard bulb in there currently, problem i have now tho.. NO Bulb is working in there.., Just tested that theory... I cranked bike (knowing i have 1 bulb out) tossed brights on.. She lit up.. If you look at http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/2002-kawasaki-vulcan-800-drifter-vn800e/o/m149359?a=11#sch290033, You'll see a "bar" between the two standard bulbs, that should house the 2 LED's for neutral and high beams. The lower bulb is for trip odo and right half of Speedometer it seems.
Here's pic... High beam werks still no right/lower speedo

And the red light looks great!  Btw, If your wife wants blue, then she shall have blue  :).

So here she is.. RED LED!!!!! Found that my lower socket is bad... So have to replace that one.. But have atleast 1 light working for the time being. These are 74 dome type LED bulbs. Here's the Amazon link where I ordered them http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AR1JXNM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Once i get socket done.. I'll post another pic of the whole thing. Funny part is... I get mine done... Show the wife.. next words out of her mouth.. "I want mine to be blue"..... (Sorry for crappy pic, phones don' t like the dark.. and my fat hand is covering neutral light.)

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!
