#4030042 bulbs were common to burn out on the displays. You just lightly take a razor blade on the corner of the indicator plate,pry up,and pull out exposing the bulbs. The bulbs you can get an any auto store. If you need a new indicator plate you get it here. You also have a reverse,neutral and hot indicator bulb along with the high beam.

If the bulbs are working you can find neutral and reverse. The high temp light would be whatever is left.

Just look at the wiring behind the bulb holder. Viewed from left to right(sitting on the atv)
All indicator positions share a common brown(with jumpers).Far left bulb position is the HOT light indicator(blue/white wire and brown) next bulb position is NEUTRAL (Green/white and brown wire) next position is High Beam indicator (Yellow and brown) far right bulb is the REVERSE indicator( purple and brown wire) OPT
