That's all I've ever seen. I've had one such as this on my '80 for
at letasst 10 years. Didn't know there were any other ones.

It's been a while since I looked this but if I recall correctly, the
guage bulbs are held in holder that simply press into holes in the
back of the gauges. It sounds like a DPO pulled yours out and, not
finding and replacement, simply taped it off. Or broke a wire. Or
something similar. Maybe the DPO simply broke the wire off of the
existing bulb holder and there is nothing at all wrong with the bulb
itself, which means the buld holder is still in place.
Have you check with Spitbits? (No Financial Involvelemnt, just a
satisfied customer. Of both Spitbits and TRF.)
