I had the same problem and it was a broken track in the blue flexi-strip
that's on the back of the speedo/rev counter assembly.  They are easily
damaged when taking it out of the dash.
The indicators lights are LEDs which are pretty unlikely to burn out unless
they are overloaded.  I'd look for a bad connection/broken track first.
