Source for Ignition light in tach

My ignition lamp in my tach is missing. Or perhaps it is just the lamp cover as I have not disassembled the thing. On the Speedo it is a red plastic snapin with a black ring. On the tach it has the black ring but alas it should it have a yellow plastic insert shouldn't it? Anybody out there have one or know where these are available?
 
Use a small paper punch to cut a circle out of a transparent colored folder index tab. If you don't have a small enough punch, free hand it with scissors. Stick it to the rim with a small dab of glue. You can use pink, green, purple, or whatever. Mine was originally red.

You can make a nice punch by beveling the outside end of an appropriate sized thin wall tubing.
