At the very least, that would require using the original bulb and socket
which DOES actually fit the back of the Autometer case. Unfortunately, it
doesn't have a ground wire . The Autometer socket has 2 wires for ease of
hookup. I suppose you could find a smaller wattage bulb or wire in a
resistor to keep the brightness down... ;)

Do you also make the tach illegible at night like the OEM piece? Add some
darkness?
