Well, 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...

Going to have to pull mine apart.. if that was the case.. then my lower speedo light should work cause i have no illumination on the right half of the speedo. (as you can see from picture) The Neutral and High beam work normally... makes as much sense as having a peeing section in the pool. so alas.. Will rip her apart tonight.. yank out bulb.. fire it up and test once more. Just wanna know why other light isn't working.

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.....

Seems all of us have killed our lower bulbs somehow... Which doesn't make sense. lol.. Fuse maybe?

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

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.
