Hi guys, my dash isn't illuminated! Is it a common problem? Will it be the bulbs? I've checked all the fuses and they seem fine. The main beam and indicators are fine, but nothing else. It makes driving at night a bit weird.
Cheers, Max

Did you turn the light switch dimmer? They get stuck sometimes. The bulbs don't all break at the same time so otherwise prolly a wire got disconnected.

It also took me a while to figure out that the light switch controls the brightness of the dash - have you tried spinning it clockwise?

What type of bulbs fit the dash? I need to replace mine.
