    Replacement for melted orange cap in cluster?

    So fixing my odometer today and noticed PO used wrong bulb and melted the orange reflector cover. Anyway to replace this? I read in another post you have to buy a whole new cluster?? Would rather not do that.

    Also, do you guys know which two bulbs are actually attached to the harness?

              I just bought a orange bulb after mine melted, probably closer to red but you'd never know unless you knew

                          I've got one here as well but with 1 of the 2 tabs missing. make sure you use the proper watt bulb as that's probably what caused the melting

                              thanks. I'm looking at 12v 3W type W3W. That's what's on the other bulb that hasn't melted everything around it.
