Narrative:

Working MEL 27-X-xx for an inoperative slat sensor on aircraft. I replaced the slat sensor and performed ops checks. I assumed the 'in transit light' that was the reason for the MEL was on the overhead annunciator panel. I completed the operations checks and cleared the MEL.I was told that a flight crew had reported that the light bulbs hadn't been installed on the forward in transit lights.
