Narrative:

At gear down selection the right main gear green safe light did not illuminate. We performed the abnormal check list. No other warnings were evident and we decided the gear was down and safe. I asked the tower to check our gear to visually verify the gear was down. Tower instructed us to fly over the tower at 2000 MSL. They confirmed they could see that the gear was down. They then asked if we wanted the emergency equipment and personnel to follow us upon landing. I agreed. They then announced that they were declaring an emergency for us and asked for number of souls on board and fuel in pounds remaining. I informed them we had 2 souls and 3450 pounds of fuel. We continued to complete our go around checklist and landing checklist and landed without problem.
