They're not blown, just a bit dim. It could be that they've blackened a bit but given that's it universally dim across both dials I'm more inclined to think that that's just how it is. If I can be bothered I'll pull them out to look and consider replacing them, if not I'll just put up with it. It's not exactly mission critical.

It's not exactly mission critical.It has actually got me thinking because in the car I can control the clocks brightness,yet given that I am in the cars shell I don't really need to alter anything but on a bike you a are subject to the surrounding ambient light.Surly it would not be too difficult to implement a lux controlled clock lighting regime on a bike

The clocks are dim I fitted a set of blue leds I got from ebay . nice and bright now just right .
Someone on here swapped their clock bulbs for LED ones and one after another they failed. Not sure what the story is but maybe they were cheap Chinese from ebay. Probably LEDs are all Chinese but - you get the idea.
When you press the start button the oil warning light is grounded through the cut off relay so the oil light should come on. It's a bulb test. You could use that to check that the oil light led is in correctly. If you turn the kill switch off you can hold the start button in and the light will come on without the engine starting.
Or the less scientific way to convince yourself, have a look on Youtube at people starting Fazers, you will see the red oil light come on briefly when they press the start button and go off when the release it
