Light in dash

I don't ride much at night but got caught out last night and i notice that i have no light in the fuel gauge. Will that be a bulb out in the fairing or is it a fuse out???? Any help appreciated.

Most likely it is a bulb. It could also be just the prongs on the light are not set right. My would flicker and I removed the bulb and adjusted the prongs on the bulb and it is now good to go.

Very likely the bulb. Easy fix. You can do what some od us have done and replaced the stock bulbs with leds. More light and
Ast longer. Less than $20 for all four.

The bulb may have just popped out of the gauge housing.

That sounds great using LED's. Do you have a part # and where can i find them? I already have LED's on the rear with a Badlands Module. So i would guess i would be okay.

Thanks again guys.

Go to superbrightleds.com

If you search on that as well here you will get a lot of info.

I chose the WLED-AHP5. The A is for amber. The HP was the brighter option. No load eq needed.

I just placed my order for them after reading your post. I figured if I had to take it apart to check bulb, I just as well replace all of them while I was there.
