Default Hood Tach light

Just installed my new Ames hood tach. Noticed that there is no light. Did I miss a step. Everything works correctly, just no light when I turn the lights on. Any ideas? Thanks everyone.

You have to run a wire to the fuse box. Usually the light comes on with the key switch.

I changed the bulb to a red led. Much easier on the eyes at night

Default My 1970 Judge hood tach lights up whenever the key is 'ON'.

And it's factory-installed, so I think it's correct.
