Dim turn signal indicator light

I just replaced my tach after a repair and while putting all the lights back in, I noticed that when the key is on, the left indicator bulb (in the tach) glows dimly when the turn signal stalk is in the middle position. When the stalk is pushed down (left turn), that same bulb blinks brightly. When the stalk is pushed up (right turn), the right bulb doesn't light at all. I'm hoping that the dim light in the middle position is simply an indication that the right indicator bulb is burned out. Yes?
If that's correct, can someone tell me the part number for the bulb to replace it? I found a lot of bulbs in the Pelican bulb section, but it's unclear which one is for this specific purpose. 'Lil help?

Oh by the way, the bulb is in a black plastic fitting; it doesn't appear that the bulb comes out. If it does, how do you get it out without breaking it?

12 volt, 2 watt, BA-7 lamp is what you are looking for.

Thanks very much. How do I get the bulb out? It's not obvious to me and I don't want to break it in the process.

Check your ground connections and make sure everything else is plugged into the right place. If a bulb or component is being fed power and can't find the right ground, it may find it through another item, weakly powering it up in the process. I had a similar situation happen long ago on a 356C and that turned out to be the issue.
