Gauge cluster lights going out

My lights behind RPMs are slowly fading out and I can't see half of the gauge. Also the lights behind my "Lancer" logo, temp gauge and fuel are complety out along with my speedometer bulbs are fading out.

Can anyone give any advice on the bulbs to replace them and how? Any help would be appreciated.

There is non-acd models.

I'm still deciding on color. Contact Trustz on this forum.

It honestly sounds like a ground wire issue, all the bulbs would not go out at the same time. Also make sure you dont have a blown fuse anywhere, but usually a dimness is caused by a weak ground

this happened to me. This worked for me it might work for u. Its easy to do so its worth a try. Take out the whole gauge cluster and check if your lights have gone loose. If not go get them from the dealership they should not be more then 8 dollars

Well in my case the nearest dealership is 45 miles away. I'll rather walk than to pay gas....
