Ok I pulled my early combo gauge (dated '69) because only half of the indicator light was illuminating. I see 1 wire (red/white) that is not connected and I have an open bulb slot. Do I just need a single spade bulb sleeve to install and hook that loose wire to it?

Out of topic, but this indicator light is split? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
It means it could be used for two different warnings if one would want, one on the left one on the right? Could they be of different colors?

Back to regular programming, sorry for hijack.

One side for parking brake and the other for MC fault switch?

If you don't find where the red/white QC connector goes, at least tape it up or heat shrink something on that exposed connector. Lots of metal to ground out behind the gauges.
