Well I was out playing with it, the bulb is fine, so got to check the wiring. Previous owner had some problems with charging, and replaced the master, regulator and generator, so I suspect the light wire got disconnected. I notice none of the instrument lights are working either. Mike at Skyport courteously emailed me the wiring for the light, so now I can figure out what is wrong.
