Cluster swap, a light doesn't seem to be working.

99 DX

I got a cluster from a manual trans car via ebay. I swapped the speedo over, and installed it. Half the tach isn't lit up. I've tried swapped bulbs from the factory cluster to the new one, but can't seem to figure this out.

Do you have a multimeter?

Either a gauge light bulb is burned out or a receptacle is bad. First identify which gauge light bulb is not lighting up:

Well, I got it working. The gauge light with the two black wires that run up to the other small light...I somehow think it wasn't properly set or something. It's not working, as is every other bulb, I got it bolted it, took it for a test drive, and everything works as it should. Awesome upgrade for $70.
