[TR] TR3A Gauge Lights

I am starting to lay out my new (bought 4 years ago) wiring harness for my
'59 TR3A. It is from British Wiring, which is now owned by Matt Bakes,
Triumph Rescue. What I cannot figure out is the wiring for the Speedo and
Tach lights, the two warning lights and the two panel lights. On the wiring
diagram, these are all basically run in a series with the red/white wire.
The harness has one R/W wire in the dash cluster. I have the original bulb
sockets, but at least for the speedometer and tach, there is no way to put
in a new wire and there is no wire to run the series from one bulb to the
next.  Has anyone done this and if so, what am I missing?  I spoke to Josh
at BW and he wasn't sure and was going to touch base with Matt. I spoke a
bit with Matt about this a few weeks ago but he wasn't sure either.  Moss
shows the sockets for the gauges are available as well as the warning
lights, but do they come with the wiring in series or are they just the
sockets, and if so, then how are you supposed to wire these? TIA
