Instrument panel lighting problems

[MattyH16valver]

I'm having some troubles with my instrument panel at the mo, as the right hand side of it (petrol gauge and rev counter) does not light up when I turn on the car lights. I've had at look and the bulbs and they all seem to be ok and all the cables seem to be in the right place and in order. Could it be time for a new panel....any help would be good...cheers, Matt :wink:

Took the pic in the dark...but the flash brightened it up too much...but the right hand side defo ain't alight....as i said...i've checked the bulb and it seems ok :? Is is just the one bulb for the rev counter and the petrol guage?

Have you changed the bulb? could look allright, but have something up with it.
There the same as your sidelight bulbs, so just slap one of those in to double check.

Sounds the best bet, i had mine go there, and when i took it out thought umm this is a odd shaped bulb looked in the usual places but realised it was a holder, and you can pull it out.
I also noticed that the dash lights get dimmer with age, so worth changing the main ones.
