Default Plugs that go into the guage cluster

Just a quick question. I took the cluster apart so I could paint the bulbs amber like in that one thread. But when I took the cluster out there were only three plugs going into the back... not 4 there were the two on the side (grey), and then the yellow one. no green my cluster works fine except that it needs to warm up before the speedo works the guy that owned the car before me had some indiglos put in... maybe he forgot to put that plug in there I looked all back in the dash and couldn't find the plug.. so anyways...

cliff notes
what is the green plug for??
Thanks

yeah I know what your talking about... I went today and no one had them for that size bulb... I'm kinda scared that the paint might melt or whatever...

anyways, I'm pretty sure that I don't need the plug because everythign works fine, I was just wondering what it was for

cool, yeah I figured that would happen... I am goign to be swapping it out in a couple months, and swapping my ITR dash in, but I just wanted to do something else for the time being...
so anyone know what those plugs are for?? I tried looking at the HELMS online manual, but my computer locked up gonna try again now... but an answer here would be much easier

yeah it turned out pretty good, I'm hoping that the paint does fade a little, so that it will be a little more amber than red.

the white one does nothing the green is for your airbag and the two grey ones are for the guages/lighting
