Maybe JediJD will chime in here - he had one "flickering" and replaced it with a new bulb. He just fixed it last weekend.

That bulb is just an indicator. The gauge is for accuracy, I think the bulb is primarily for flash and dazzle. In any event, one end goes to the hot side of the 120v AC circuit, the other to ground. They are $6 from Flounder Pounder (look first, but mine had a tail and I didn't use the solder version) and they take about thirty minutes of care each to remove and replace (or at least did for me, but I'm clumsy and anal about wiring). When new, they shine fairly brightly, but some seem to age over time, and begin to flicker...then ultimately die. If you replace one, replace both. The light from the new one is much brighter than the old one (ask me how I know) and it looks weird if they don't match.
