I am not sure if there is a bulb behind there or not (and during the daytime I can't see a place for the light "to come out" as I see on the other "guages" so my question is "is my bulb out or is there no bulb on the tach?"

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeffrey,
The tach has two bulbs in it. The one with the red/white wire is the one that illuminates the face. The other bulb is for the ignition indicator.

Thanks. Found them and I am all set. I could not see them in the daytime (like I could the others). They were very visible in the night time.

Thanks for the picture GregW.
