Default Question on silver faced gauges..

I put silver faced gauges on my 07 and it seems they do not have the 6th gear light? I can't see the 6th indicator at all even in sunlight.

is this even possible or is it just not visible?

ah yes, go ride and see. Not gonna happen for awhile so I thought I would ask.

If they are from an 06 or older there will not be a light. The good news is they should match the red radio light, if you have the H-D one.

If you have the correct gauge, maybe just hard to see?

Just went from Dyna to a RG. I hate the silver versus the black gauges. My 10's 6th gear light is nearly impossible to see in daylight. I can't see the gauges at all including road speed at dawn and dusk because the yellow backlight washes the numbers out until it gets dark enough. I have to just go by needle position.

I'm not sure what year they are off. I bought them used for $100. They plugged in and work right......I didn't even notice the lack of a 6th gear light until today. I took a ride around for a few minutes and got into 6th gear at as low rpm...didn't see the light. I didn't think much about it but when I looked at the gauges I couldn't see the indicator...not even with a flashlight.

I thought the 06 and 07 gauges where different in the harness?

I just checked again vs my stock blk gauges and I can't see the indicator on the silver faced ones....also a P on the tach guage.

They should be just fine without the light.
