"D" Light on Tip tacho not working...

I was fiddling with the dial console today to check out where the bulbs were and to get the hang to removing it in and out. I did not go anywhere near the lights for the Tip display of the dials.

However, the "D" on the tacho won't light up anymore. I've checked the bulb but it seems ok. Is there anywhere else i should check?

Where would i get this bulb if i did need a replacement?

Easiest way to check is to swap it with another bulb from the dash that you know does work.

The bulb that lights up the "D" is a stock standard T5 wedge globe available off the shelf at any Autobarn etc.

It might also pay to remove the dash and check, clean and align the two sets of connectors (both the ones on the back of the main dials and the sockets they plug into on the dash).

I had a few dash light issues when playing around with the LEDs, but only because the plugs in the dial units weren't sitting properly in the sockets mounted in the dash. Unplugging, realigning and pushing it back in solidly fixed that.

Just had my el-dials fitted and realised the plugs of the dial console wasn't sitting in properly.

All problems have now been fixed except the first.. the "D" light is not on...it must be the bulb then.
