Leptons in the dark

I have lost all light on my dials, so I cannot see how fast I am going at night (probably not an acceptable excuse for speeding!).

 

The fuse is ok, so it must be the bulbs. I have had the dah off a few times for stereo fitting, but have no idea about bulbs.

 

Could someone tell me what kind of bulbs I need to buy, and where to put them?

 

All my AC bulbs are working.

There are quite a few bulbs that slot into the back of the dial case. Surely they can't all have blown at once?

 

Do the indicator/beam lights come on?

 

Do the gauges actually work?

 

What I'm getting at is...is there a power "outage" to the speedo/rpm dial block?

 

The back of the speedo/rpm case has a printed circuit that powers everything on it, it has three connectors along its top, back edge.

 

 

 

edit to re-spell "gauges"

The indicator lights, full beam light and TC off lights work fine, as to the speedo/revs.

 

Is there a seperate supply for the other lights?

 

The lights have all been gone since I bought the car, so they all could have gone over a period of years - if you see what I mean.

Ahh, you mean they've never worked. I bet they are missing, my main beam light bulb was when I first got the car.

 

What we need right now is someone helpful with a parts CD so you can order them in, although whip the speedo out first and check. Take dash off as usual and the speedo is held in by four screws, deep down in the dash void, so you are bound to drop them. I always do.
