I just took out my instrument panel to see if i could change the bulbs because i plan on changing the color
they worked perfectly before, and when i put it back in one seemed dim, so i took it all out again and now only 3 light up
tell me the straight up truth did i screw something up? cuz i may have accidently touched the circuit board, i just want to know if all i need is new bulbs or a new gauge cluster
checked all the fuses all are perfectly fine
i do a lot of night time driving so if you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated

Re: Instrument panel lights, only a few light
Did you turn the dimmer all the way up?
Whenever I do something electrical, I clean all the contact points, and the light bulb surfaces. I don't know if you could have shorted something. Did you disconnect the battery?
I always do that before doing anything. You never know when you could short something.

Re: Instrument panel lights, only a few light
