I think that is a good call, or at least at 1/4 or less of the price of a new speedo, a good gamble.

I thought the stock bulbs on the GZ are H4's. Not so ??

Ack, I just bought which ever was the brighter one haha.
Okay btw everybody, thanks for all your help through your advice I've definitely narrowed the problem down to the speedo drive. I know the speedo works and the cable is fine, so basically either the drive isnt attached properly or just isn't working. Is there any tutorial on either how to test/check my drive or how to take it off/replace it? What are the odds it's loose? Thanks again for getting me this far!

Check the service manual.

I agree. My owner's handbook says 60w/55w (H4)......That's a halogen, is it not?

Yes, the bulbs are H4's.

I replaced mine last week.
