Transmission Gear Selector Quadrant Light

[Classics Fan]

I recently replaced my incandescent dash bulbs with LED’s while I had the dash panel on the bench chasing bad grounds. The panel is now brightly lit but a couple problems remain. 1) the bright-headlights indicator glows almost imperceptibly when brights are on (it worked properly before), and 2) the gear selector quadrant on the column is dark (it was dark before I pulled the panel as well). For the second problem I’ve confirmed the bulb is working and the fiber optic is in place next to it. This is a 1971 GMC Custom with full instrumentation (a Jimmy but this forum seems a lot more active than the Blazer/Jimmy forum).

I can live with these issues if need be but wondering if anyone has ideas or suggestions on what is going on with either one.
