extra wires with dash lights

I have just removed my dash cluster and have found a couple of extra lights. It seems that I have 5 dash lights. L & R turn signals, brake, one that goes in the left side of the light bar and ????. The gage cluster was changed by a previous owner from std to rally. Thanks for any information you may have.

The remaining light feed is probably high beam indicator & ign.
When you say light bar are you referring to the metal frame that holds the gauge cluster night lights that fit into the upper inside of the dash?

Yes it is the metal bar. That bar has 4 lights running from a single orange wire that shine on the gage cluster. Then there is a pla e for a single bulb to plug into the left side of that bar. What is that light for and how is it turned on? Where would the high beam indicator lamp be plugged into the cluster? I did find a possible place for that light at the bottom center of the cluster.

The bar only covers the gauge cluster so I think the left hand light extension must be to illuminate the light/wiper/dimmer cluster to the left of the gauges.

I'm pretty sure the high beam indicator is in the speedo face about 6 o'clock.
