I'm rebuilding my car, and I have no way of knowing how old my Smiths gauges are since I bought the car used. The Smiths gauges that were in there all had bulbs that inserted into the back of the gauge from the rear through a hole or sleeve in the back. One quick look, if this is the type you have, will tell you if the sockets are in place. I guess it's possible that the bulbs can be missing or all burned out. The fly in the ointment is that I just purchased a new Smiths tach, and on this newer gauge the light is built into the gauge. Connect the lead to the rest of them and you're ready to go. If you have these newer gauges, now you need to figure out if they're hooked up correctly and if your bulbs may be burned out. Could be the switch, too. Good luck.
