Default Right Turn Signal on Dash not lighting up.

So, i need to get my car inspected this weekend, the green arrow for my right turn signal on the dash is not lighting up when i turn on my right blinker, but the bulbs on the outside front and back appear to be lighting up just fine. I can hear the flasher clicking as well, just no green arrow.

Other dashboard lights are all lighting up fine and the left arrow is working fine, is there a bulb in the dashboard that i need to replace for this?

Yep, but not sure if you can reach it from under the dash.
It may be easier to pull off the trim, remove the gauge cluster & replace the bulb.

Search gauge cluster bulbs, there have been many people around here change the colors, got to LED, etc., etc.

Plug & wire-bundle should come out a little bit with the cluster as you lean it forward to get to it.
Just find the tabs that are holding the connector in place to release them.
Obviously the wheel has to be tilted to the far down position.
