Problem with dash cluster
Has anybody had thier dash cluster lights go out? I did, I left for 3 weeks came back drove the car and bam no dash lights... Well, actually the milage part and one light on the far left of the speedo is on. I tried adjusting the dimmer and just those two lights dim and go back up. I haven't had a chance to check it out, but does anyone have any ideas where to start?
I'd take it out and make sure the harnesses didn't get unplugged somehow. I'm not sure how the illumination is on those, but It's probably just a bulb or something. Take it out and check it out. Or it could just be a blown fuse.

I have this same problem too on my 03 evo, wont warranty cover this? I'm sure its not hard to fix, but its just the principal of it I guess. also, I just noticed recently that when my car is turned off and I go to turn on the parking lights or head lights, the dash lights wont come on at all, unless I actually start the car? does anyone else have this problem?

I have a how-to on my web page to take apart the cluster
I did bolsen's light mod a day after I picked up the car...sadly, I broke a bulb (I tried to pull the bulb off of the base...stupid), but I was able to order bulbs at my dealership ($4 a bulb!).
In the end, the dash is much brighter...thanks to bolsen!
