- March 25, 2014, 09:18:57 AMWell, guys, I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, but here's a pic of the back of Blue's 2000 speedometer. I held it up to the sunlight so you can see the enclosed tube that leads from the lower speedometer light...to the blue lens of the high beam. So, our gauges only have one instrumentation light, the one at the top. Hope this helps!
Btw, 2beers has his speedometer apart again this morning because, as has been mentioned here, the blue is just too darn bright...it's also the wrong hue of blue for Blue lol. He's wavering between red and amber right now, LED or regular bulb. The big truck has a supply of all of the aforementioned, yes it's a trucker thing...

Fuse maybe?ok 2200 hrs. right now so too late to worry about lights tonight. But both my hi beam and neutral lite have been working but the 92069B is not working. Will check everything again in the morning.....

- March 24, 2014, 20:04:34 PMQuote from: 2beers on March 24, 2014, 19:58:55 PMI 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.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...

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.)

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

I will check and see if it's possible to order some down here for under that.. if so.. can work something out.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.

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.
